Weekend Retreat

I'm going on a retreat this weekend with the confirmation class from our church. We will visit a mosque, a Hindu temple, a Buddhist temple and the Ba'Hai temple in Evanston. Then on Sunday we go to a Gsopel church on Chicago's south side. Place rocks. This is always a great trip, and the kids really "get" Chrisitianity more after seeing the various alternatives. Funny, me being as negative about the Koran and Sharia law and all, yet I really like the imam at the mosque we got to. Maybe he's just pretending, but he seems pretty open minded, and last time called Christians and Muslims fellow believers. If only that were a universal attitude among Muslims.
