Beyond these models of reconciliation, a theology of mysticism provides some hope for common ground between Christianity and Islam. Both religions have within their histories examples of ecstatic union with God, which seem at odds with their own spiritual traditions but have much in common with each other.

Sadly, we do a much better job of making people feel guilty than we do of delivering them from the guilt we create. We need to confess this and change our ways.

Today, some of the most spiritual people I know claim to be without religion.

I don't doubt that God can bring good out of tragedies, but the Bible is clear that God is not the author of evil!

We must not be so concerned with the unborn that we fail to pay attention to the born.

Christianity isn't the only group that has fundamentalists.

Most of my fundamentalist brothers and sisters - and I am an evangelical, so I can say most of my fundamentalist brothers and sisters - are quite willing to pack women off and send them as missionaries to dangerous places where they might get killed.
