Is Earth Hour New Age?
PH writes: “I am writing because I have connection to the Sisters of Mercy having Mother Francis Bridgeman as an ancestor. I have just watched your show with Susan Brinkman who has written the book series ‘Learn to Discern’ and when opening my e-mail from the Mercy Foundation was horrified to see the link for Earth Hour which seems very New Age.

May I have your comments about this Earth Hour link if you have time in your busy schedule?”

Could you maybe tell us a little more about what to look out for in jewelry? Or would that be a whole ‘nother Learn to Discern book?”
