Perhaps when he said "I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power," he was referring to the ways one can come to be a Christian (especially in light of the fact that his mother was an athiest and his stepfather was Muslim -- he certainly found an unusual way to become one). He does say that he has a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ," buzz words for Christians, so he does seem to be following the "party line" when it comes to "the way."
Yah, I'll give you that. But there is a better way to say, "People can come to Christ through many experiences."
