\"ArticleA standing ovation met Phil Danza when he announced, “John-Roger is the true godfather of Soul!” to the 1000+ initiates who packed the main room and spilled into an overflow room. And so began an amazing Initiates Meeting for the 2001 Conference of Alignment. <\/p>\n

Mandeville Press had won a Benjamin Franklin Award earlier in the month for John-Roger’s book, Divine Essence. A brief video highlighting that event was shown to a huge burst of applause, after which David Sand and Stede Barber presented the award to J-R.<\/p>\n

Phil Danza, Paul Davidson, and Deborah Martinez performed a beautiful song in honor of our Beloveds, John-Roger and John Morton, opening the hearts of everyone in the room.<\/p>\n
