    When attempting to reach people of other faiths, we recognize that: 1. There is some truth in all religions and there are good people who follow them. 2. God has placed a longing for himself inside every human heart. 3. Jesus is the universal Savior.

We shared common standards of ethics, and whether or not we followed those ethics, we understood them and agreed ...read more

Unfortunately, all of us ...read more
