This past Sunday saw two very striking contrasts regarding how Christians view other religions and religious traditions. Brit Hume on FOX News Sunday, in the context of advising Tiger Woods no less, made it clear what he thought about Tiger’s (alleged) Buddhist beliefs as they relate to Brit Hume’s version of Christianity. In short: You need to trade up!
Here’s the exchange:
Brit was later dressed down by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann on Countdown…
One of the criticisms brought up on MSNBC is, “where are the moderate Christians at times like this?” To them I say, look no further than our very own Dean Scott Richardson, who at the very same moment, was offering a completely different view about Christian Appreciation for other Religious Traditions. If you missed the 9am Forum – catch it here (give it a minute to load):
Do you have friends that are hunrgry for spiritual connection but skeptical of Christianity thanks to constant exposure to the he so-called “Christian right” in the media? Have faith and forward this link under the heading – There really ARE thoughtful, open-minded, Christians out there! And then invite them to join you this Sunday at St. Paul’s! 🙂
