    I have always looked at interfaith relationship with lot of skepticism. a) It better for the Christian leadership to teach our children 1) Don’t judge or condemn anybody for God will use same yardstick to judge and condemn us. (Mathew 7:1-3 ) b) Don’t do anything wicked in the name Christ for punishment is very painful (Mathew 7: 21-23 ) c) When in doubt ask Holy Spirit to teach us and guide us(John 14:1-27 ). Hindus have their prayer in the Upanishad (“Lead me to the truth………) Muslims can make their own prayer to teach them. d) Unless every country allow people to exercise God given free will, interfaith Relationship will meet the same fate of league of nations.
