A Pax on Both Our Houses
December 20th, 2007 by admin
Here’s an interesting example of religious cooperation…
The New York Times reported today that 60 religious leaders (from Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) have signed a statement asking governmental leaders to negotiate with Iran. They’re calling for peace, not potential war.
The statement draws examples of peace from all three religions and various sacred scriptures. It’s a great example of the kinds of positive outcomes that can be accomplished when we allow various religions to find a line of understanding and common ground. Their hope is that the presidential candidates will also read these words and consider peace as they work out their own Middle East policies. To see the full text of the statement (with the same name as the title of this post), click here.

Chicago and Religion
December 12th, 2007 by admin

Time Out Chicago surveyed the beliefs of Chicagoans, interviewing people across the city and its suburbs. Their answers are indicative of the tremendous diversity that can be found in America’s cities and shatter some of the stereotypes that surround certain ethnicities. In addition, they provide a glimpse into the many reasons people choose or leave various religious groups.
Check out the interviews here. For related stories (and even a quiz to help you determine which religion fits your beliefs), visit the main page for the story here.
