Another reason I'm glad I'm Episcopalian....

[pat]

During the Good Friday liturgy, when we pray for "all who have not received the Gospel of Christ", it includes "those who in the name of Christ have persecuted others". We pray that God will open their hearts to truth.

Christianity is by its very nature a proselytizing faith, but the Episcopalians are the most respectful of other traditions that I've found so far, with the exception of the Quakers and the U-Us.

Thank you for continuing to share your faith in this way. Between you and redhawke, you have made a persuasive case in support of the possibility that Episcopalians might (generally, as a whole; there are always individual exceptions to any rule!) be "good" Christians. ;^) I'm really honestly heartened that there are "mainstream" Christians out there who are indeed respectful of other traditions. Warms my heart, it does.
