Watch how you spread the gospel...

...or the World Council of Churches and Vatican may disapprove.
...the Vatican and the World Council of Churches are partnering to create a “code of conduct” which would apply to Christian evangelistic efforts aimed at converting people from other faiths. ... The document could take at least three years to research and draft.
...
To assist them in formulating this “code of conduct” on evangelism, the Vatican and the World Council of Churches have invited members of the Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim religions to participate in the conference.

...the biggest challenge the conference organizers will face in their effort to implement this “code of conduct” is the fact that no Pentecostal or Evangelical groups will be taking part; and these two groups are the most fervent evangelistically and make up the fastest growing segment of Christianity. However, ...Rev. Ucko hopes that contacts can be made with these “most zealous groups to try to find a common voice.”
Um, pardon me but...aren't Christians supposed to be zealous? This "Rev. Ucko" character (sweet name though) says it like it's a bad thing.

It should be impossible for "Evangelical groups" to find a "common voice" with the Vatican, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus.

Thank you Keithslady! Hear! Hear! Who among us Evangelical Christians didn't see this coming? Feeling threatened are they?

Praise God Keithslady! There isn't one common voice and there better not be a single evangelical crying unity!

ok FYI (Joey I know you seen this) but I clicked on the "blue" may disapporve and it obviously linked me to the site of that article and then you can go and read other comments on that article, it was really awesome so many people out there stating bold truths of the gospel against religious cults and what not. Also there's links to our "sweet" brothers Todd, Ray and Kirk (reegz) anyways check it out.
