And now, we've seen it in a local level as well.
Last week there was an interesting thing in our paper about a Canada Day float that is being put together by the Christian and Sikh community based on building friendship to achieve common goals. On this float during the parade, the Christians and Sikhs are going to act out some of the sports that will be at next year's Winter Games. (Don't ask me why.) This all sounded fine and dandy, until another newspaper arrived that same day, this one with a headline about a Christian church that has gotten the Sikh community upset by refusing to allow them to use their church for one of their funerals (because it was discovered, after it was already booked, that Sikh prayers would be said during the funeral, and this is a Christian church).
Oh oh. So now what? Suddenly, those common goals don't seem so common anymore.
Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14
On that note, how about this quote from Brian McLaren...
For Emerging Church leader Brian McLaren, this is the future way of life for the Christian. In an interview July 28, 2008, on ChristianPost.com, he said: "I think our future will also require us to join humbly and charitably with people of other faiths—Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, secularists, and others—in pursuit of peace, environmental stewardship, and justice for all people, things that matter greatly to the heart of God."Source: The Shameful Social Gospel
