It would be an interesting experiment if we could pull it off...especially since some Druids in one organization don't really recognize other Druids within a different organization as such. I suppose they would have to sit down and actually discuss various philosophies and try to find the common ground. *p* Is that what you're getting at, Akiernox? :-)*p* I can envision a setup rather like the system of the Iroquois Nations...actually, this is something I've given a lot of thought to over the years.

Unfortunately, it's like trying to herd cats.*p*Leigh Re: An International Congress/summit of Druids... Akiernox 12 Sun May 10 20:05:31 1998
