Here we learn of a Louisiana Church that sold its land (and its soul?) to an islamic group:

Rev. Beth Sentell, one of co-pastors of the merged congregation, "said two considerations influenced their decision to sell the church plant to the Islamic Society. First was the amount of money offered, second was the opportunity to engage in interfiath dialogue and friendship." She and her husband, Dr. Web Sentell, "plan to invite the Islamic congregation and its imam to a church supper where the imam will field questions. Dr. Sentell said, 'We worship the same God.'" Co-pastor J. Daniel Hignight was asked "if he would ever seek to lead a member of the Islamic Society to Jesus Christ." He replied, "I don't feel a particular need to convert them to Christianity."

I can imagine the church supper where the imam fields questions and provides answers like: "follow God or vanish". At least the PCUSA folks won't care when they hear that "the pope must die."

On the bright side, the pastor feels no need to convert them to Christianity since they all worship the same God, so he won't actually be converting (same God and all) when he is forced to become a muslim or die. I wonder if Reverend Beth and her co-pastor will make the place more inclusive by reading parts of the Koran along with Scripture (same God and all, so same message, right)?
