And b Bardasanes a Syrian who lived in the reign of the Emperor Marcus Antoninus, writes that amongst the Seres (or inhabitants of China) the worship of Images was then prohibited by a law & that in all that very large region there was not a Temple to be seen. And travel lours report the same thing of China ‡ ‡ And travellors report the same thing of China. v Benjamin Tudensis found the same fire worshipped in certain Islands of the East Indies which he calls Chenerag. And the t Indians still keep this sacred fire & call it Homan. The same worship was in use also among the Tartars, as William de Rubruquis & Iohn Plancarpinius inform us. In Ireland one of these fires was conserved till of late years by the Moncks of Kildare under the name of Brigets fire & the Cænobium was called the house of fire.
For its to be conceived that the Vestal Temples of all nations as well as of the Medes & Persians were at first nothing more then open round areas with a fire in the middle, till towns & cities united under common councils & built them more sumptuously. Tis said that there are some pieces of antiquity of the same form & structure in Denmark. For it is an area compassed circularly with two rows of very great stones with passages on all sides for people to go in and out at. In England neare Salisbury there is a piece of antiquity called Stonehenge which seems to be an ancient Prytanæum.

Charity Navigator has developed a plan to iterate and expand upon our preliminary DEI ratings and will be rolling it out gradually in order to provide charities ample time to incorporate, report, and potentially improve their equity practices. Our preliminary assessment of the nonprofit's DEI practices was developed with the expertise and advice of dozens of leaders in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors and is based on the Equity Strategies information collected through Candid's Demographics profile. The National Council of Nonprofits has compiled several resources and studies that document how effective DEI practices can help organizations cultivate staff belonging and motivation, improve management and governance practices, and spark innovation that can help nonprofits achieve their missions. There is a growing body of research which shows that effective DEI practices can promote a more positive organizational culture, which can influence the nonprofit's ability to achieve impact on the people and communities they serve.
