Pagans view the earth as sacred and alive. Our world view is one of interconnectedness of all things, so there isn't that separation that one often sees in the book religions. Sometimes it's called animism -- where everything has a spirit, a soul, an energy -- whether it's a weed or an eagle. "At one point, if you said you were Pagan or into witchcraft, people would go, 'Oooh, horrors.' Then it became kind of a popular thing and people thought it was silly, which was an improvement, perhaps. But now we've got to a point where we're no longer amusing; we're almost getting boring." "If you start a new religion this afternoon and you convert me tonight, you've increased 100 per cent," says [John Stackhouse], former professor of Modern Christianity at the University of Manitoba. "If you a...

While Iraq is being moved in a democratic direction, Muslim clerics encourage the young to form new militias and, like the Steel Helmets (Stahlhelm), Free Corps (Freikorps), and the Red Army militia of Weimar Germany, they dominate the streets and public places. Are not moderate Arabs likewise putting the sledgehammer into the hands of radical Muslims? And has not the latter's political religiosity become an analogous tool for the destruction of democracies the world over? It matters little that the technology of destruction available to radical Muslims differs in detail from that applied by the Nazis to destroy Jews. Like Nazi ideologues who were primarily tied to their desks or pulpits, so Muslim clerics are not psychopaths or technocrats of terror. Both groups of ideologues, Germans ...

I sat with the young woman who asked me in a breaking voice, "Can religion be kind?" It's a long story and I won't go into details. She had asked me to pray with her. When she put the request to me, she reached out her hand and took mine. Afterwards she formed the question stating, "I felt such kindness. Can religion be kind? It does push us into the realm of that larger question, "What good is religion?" and in the words of the young woman, "Can religion be kind?" I hope that is all he wants. If this is the case, then we can move to the "not yet" column for the world's religions, and just maybe we can begin to work together for this new way. When religious power-brokers insist on conversion over conversation we discover that religion can be cruel beyond our worst nightmares. But when ...

Finding common ground between Muslims and Christians is not simply a matter for polite ecumenical dialogue between selected religious leaders," the letter states. "Christianity and Islam are the largest and second-largest religions in the world and in history... together they make up more than 55 per cent of the world's population, making the relationship between these two religious communities the most important factor in contributing to meaningful peace around the world. It also invokes the Bible, quoting the words of Jesus in the book of Mark after he was asked to name the greatest commandment. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength," he says. "This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, ...
