Interfaith (cont'd again)

I have recently read two Interfaith books I recommend. The first is Brian McLaren’s book, WHY DID JESUS, MOSES, THE BUDDHA, AND MOHAMMED CROSS THE ROAD? McLaren is a former English Professor turned church planter. His book indicates that we can recognize God’s truth in other languages, times and cultures and still own our own heritage and unique faith. The second is Roger Walsh’s book, ESSENTIAL SPIRITUALITY. Walsh is an Australian Professor of Psychiatry Philosophy and Anthropology. Walsh’s book suggests seven principles of spiritual growth and describes how the major “religions” seem to be saying similar things. I believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the incarnated son of GOD and God’s greatest revelation. That is why I pray lectio divinia from the gospels every morning. Jesus prayed that “All would be one.” and “May they be brought to complete unity” John 17:21 & 23. Unity, not uniformity is God’s desire. We are all one in God more than we may realize. Thanks be to God
