Sitz im leben
Ordinary Time: Following Jesus
Wednesday, 25 August
What should we think about the plan to build a mosque near the World Trade Center?
- Perspectives
- Ecumenical issues: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam form a family of religions. All three claim to have descended from God's covenant with Abraham.
- Legal issues: Who has the right to stop a religious group from exercising their freedom of religion? Money talks.
- Matters of good taste: Is this the best way to "build bridges" between the culture of the United States and that of Islam?
- Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
- Any laws written to make it hard for a controversial group to exercise its religious rights could be used against other religious groups in the nation.
