**a second reading from sources that have included Buddhist text and children’s books.”**

No wonder it is fading.

And what would your comment be if you read that a Buddhist teacher used examples from the Christian bible in their lessons?
Quoting from the Sermon on the Mount or using the Ten Commandments as examples of moral codes to follow?
Telling their members of the good and holy man known as Jesus Christ and his message of love and compassion?

I think to reject such as this out of hand is something that is short-sighted. It makes one no less a Christian to understand the differences and similarities in other religions. That is not a conversion to what they believe and a rejection of ones Christianity, but rather a strengthening of ones own beliefs.

Just my opinion.
