Young said he and Stelljes have read the work plans, con- ducted a site visit and have met with G-P officials about the appeal before the Coastal Commission.

We will explore together our reactions to the address and express our own visions for the future of our nation, in light of our values as peo- ple of faith. All are welcome, especially persons who describe them- selves as “spiritual but not religious,” and persons who have been alienated or marginalized from the political process and/or BUY ONE faith communities.
