The Emergent Church teams up with the Dalai Lama, "a simple Buddhist monk" for "InterSpiritual Day" where all faiths find a common ground and become "one." Any mention of John 14:6 when Jesus said, "…no one comes to the Father but through Me"? Hinduism, Buddhism, and occult doctrines gather with "Christianity", as if Jesus is not mankind’s only hope for salvation. Details are here. We can rightly assume this gathering will be proliferating "another gospel" and "another Jesus" and "another spirit." (Galatians1:8; 2 Corinthians 11:4). The list includes:
• His Holiness the Dalai Lama, a simple Buddhist monk
• Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Episcopal Archbishop of South Africa and Nobel Peace Prize Recipient
• Dr. Ingrid Mattson, President of the Islamic Society of North America
• Rabbi David Rosen, Chairman of the International Jewish Committee on Interreligious Consultations
• Roshi Joan Halifax, Zen Buddhist Master and abbess of Upaya Zen Center
• Rob Bell, emergent Christian leader, writer, and pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grandville, Michigan
• Sister Joan Chittister, Benedictine Catholic nun, writer and teacher
• Pravrajika Vrajaprana, Hindu philosopher, writer, and teacher
• Doug Pagitt, evangelical author, pastor of Solomon’s Porch in Minneapolis, emergent Christian leader
• Episcopal Bishop Steven Charleston, President and Dean of Episcopal Divinity School and a Professor of Theology
