And We Episcopalians Wonder Why So Many People Leave The Flock

All I can say, with almost tears in my eyes, is this is why so many of my fellow Christians knock the Episcopal church. To have a Christian minister AND a Muslim and to say that she is both is first of all a matter of multiple contradictions. Also, in this story in the Seattle Times, "reverend" Ann Holmes Redding says among other things that the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are not to be taken literately. That when she prays, she is praying directly to God, not to Mohammad or Jesus Christ. Well, if you really do not believe in the Holy Trinity, then as the "reverend" Redding points out, go directly to God himself. Another point of the good "reverend" is that when she enters the mosque, she realizes that unlike her Episcopal church there are people of color. WOW! She has got to be kidding! But, alas, she is not. The most appalling aspect of this story is that the "reverend" Redding was until recently, the director of faith development at the St. Mark's cathedral in Seattle. Appearantly, someone forgot to develop the faith of the "reverend" Redding along the way. Liberal Christianity, this is what thy hath wrought onto thyself.

People have become so liberal that they are confused....A Muslim and a Christian ??? Conflicting theories right there in those words.

I find this frightening, that someone who is so obviously religious (being a Rev, or whatever you call them) can so easily be swayed. I guarantee you that she will eventually leave Christianity behind. Those 2 religions are like oil and water, for obvious reasons.
So, if religious Jews and Christians can so easily convert.. what does that say for the rest of humanity.

I just watched a video on a Jewish convert to Islam who moved to Gaza... very disturbing. He claims Islam will be the world religion. I say over my dead body.

Oh yes, incog that is very disturbing. But I think that the "reverend" Redding is a weak person to begin with and would have found a reason to become a Muslim anyway. But, she is a Christian minister and her bishop does not seem to remember the old adage, one can not serve two masters. "Reverend" Redding is doing that. The bishop is just as weak as the "reverend" And they wonder why the Evangelical Christians are gaining and they are not!

Still convinced she will eventually leave Christianity.
