Being mindful of others leads to a heart of compassion; compassion leads to a desire to act for the good of all.

Peace and harmony lead to a stable and secure community where all are nurtured and can flourish.

'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.'
Barriers are broken down in a loving, friendly community based around God.
