The parishioners of the Diocese of Huron’s St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral have been invited to tour a mosque on Jan 25th, an initiative of Syrian families that the diocese has sponsored.
It’s interesting to note the contrast with a similar sponsorship in the late 70’s by the church I attend. It was a Vietnamese family – Vietnamese boat people survivors – whom we helped settle in Canada. The difference is, once here, they attended our church. Now, it seems the expectation is that sponsored migrants are more likely to make converts of their sponsors than vice versa.
Such is the march of Anglican progress.
Here is the invitation from the cathedral bulletin:
It is all consistent with The Great Commission, Matthew 28:19-20, which in the New Liberal Version reads:
Go ye therefore and reach out to all peoples, allowing them to baptize ye in the name of Diversity, and of Tolerance, and of Holy Relativism: so that they may teach you of the Narrowness of your Ways, that you may thereby Signal your Virtue to the Important People of This Heaven which is on Earth.
