Did they also teach the kids how to decapitate an infidel?
I hope they pointed out the Christianity is the only of these religions that is not succeeded through works but rather redemption.
I'm sorry, but the Episcopal Church seems completely lost.

Whopping, verifiable lie.
Not yet. The propaganda needs to progress before they teach them the interesting details.
That's the foolish irony here - these "kind", "understanding", and "tolerant" morons would be among the first to go should the radical followers of Islam gain the upper hand in world geopolitics.
It's ok. I bears repeating.
SEEMS?
If no one in the church was able to do more than this, they should have brought in an outsider.
I consider myself fairly conservative about religion to the extent that I left the Episcopal church over its current teachings. With that in mind, I have no problem with educating members about other faiths.
They'll make good dhimmis some day.
It reminds me of a story Diane Knippers tells. She was serving on an Episcopal ecumenical committee (probably a bad idea in and of itself). At the first regular meeting, the members were to "share" ecumenical ideas. One member discussed how their parish was inviting a Buddhist to conduct a prayer service in their sanctuary. The committee thought that was great - just the sort of thing they were looking for. When it was Diane's turn, she said she was contacting the Southern Baptists so they could do some door-to-door mission work together. There was a painful silence until someone meekly asked, "Southern Baptists? We really don't have anything in common with them."
No no no no...
this is one of the very reason i gave up going to the Presbyterian Church I attended because of things like this. I can't think what some of these Christians are thinking.
You bet they do!
Like it says in Sura 9:5 in their koran "..Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.."
Seriously, I'm waiting for the ECUSA to ordain moose-limb imams into their clergy. It's all because of tolerance and open-mindedness, you know.
If this church is in Rome GA the Episcopal church is lost. This is the Bible belt.
I learned about many faiths growing up. Dad considered it part of my education as you must understand the religion to understand the culture. However he also made sure I was rooted and grounded in my own faith first.
With this, "touching on Christianity" I would say that that was not the case here but that the nastier bits of other religions were left out and probably the virtues of Christianity were at best muted if not twisted so completely as to be unrecognizable.
