Interfaith Service at St. John’s Parish in Montclair

This Sunday morning, May 22, at 10 a.m., the sounds of the adhan — the Muslim call to prayer — will ring out in St. John’s Episcopal Church Montclair.

While there’s no minaret at the church, the words of “Allahu akbar,” (God is greater) will none-the-less invite both Christians and Muslims to worship side by side. During the interfaith service, verses from the Holy Qur’an will complement readings from the Holy Bible, including during Communion, embracing the traditions of both religions.

Did the Episcopal Church lose its way? Has it forgotten about Christianity?

They sure seem to have forgotten about Islam and just how well it does the "playing nice with others" thing.

This must be more of a "Unitarian" church. Episcopalian has usually been a rather liberal off shoot of the Catholic church. In recent years they have really, really 'strayed' from the christian reservation.
