This is the spiritual equivalent of what is going on in Israel, land for peace. Religious leaders are ceding spiritual land in the hopes that the world will like them

National City Christian Church. Dhimmi ping.

It might be interesting to know what parts of the Qur'an they will read.

I doubt they'll include the bits about slaying the infidel, subjugating women, pedophilia, the duty to lie to unbelievers, and that whole "House of Islam / House of War" thingy....

They are not churches, they are bands of lost souls trying to make themselves feel good. They are sheep without the Shepherd.
Someone recently said, they are trying to follow Jesus without following the Bible. That doesn’t work.

It should be a quick service.

Muslims deny Christ’s devinity. And call the Resurection Propaganda.

What do these “Churches” expect to reconcile?

Regarding the idiotic "COEXIST" bumper stickers, I'm now keeping a small stack of these in my glove box. I put one on a car a couple weeks ago at my swim and tennis.
