Are Virginia Baptists (BGAV) Promoting Islamic Dialogue?

Looks like The Baptist General Association of Virginia (BGAV) is not only interested in building bridges to Rome and but also to Mecca...

Apprising Ministries revealed the backgrounds of the co-editors of The Parish Paper (TPP) which the BGAV / Virginia Baptist Mission Board "is proud to provide copies of the Parish Paper free of charge to members of our constituency!"

Pastor Ken Silva writes:

"TPP being “ecumenical in the broadest sense of that term,” combined with its popularity in dying mainline denominations such as the Episcopal Church, United Methodist Church, and the ELCA, explains why knowledge expert Dr. Cynthia Woolever, who wrote the edition of TPP in question, would be so enamored with the EC. It’s also telling when we know that Dr. Woolever..."

Pastor Silva shares an endorsement of Woolever as a Professor of Sociology of Religious Organizations by Hartford Seminary President, Heidi Hadsell.

Hartford Seminary boldly embraces diversity and interfaith unity. From the HS web page:

"Hartford Seminary is an educational institution where a consciousness of God is cultivated and shared. We believe strong religious institutions and healthy communities of faith are necessary to the well being of individuals and society. We affirm the goodness of religious differences that exist in the world and we support faithful living in a pluralistic and multi-faith environment.

...As part of our fidelity to that foundation, we affirm our historic and continuing commitment to Christian-Muslim dialogue and commit to further dialogue with Judaism and other religious traditions."

Now, World Net Daily reports in Christian churches fed 'Islam lite' the following regarding Hartford Seminary:

"...organizations such as Hartford Seminary are sending imams "to condition members of the area churches to believe the light version of Islam."

Steve Emerson, director of the Investigative Project for Terrorism, concurred.

"Hartford Seminary is a place that has been compromised by the Muslim Brotherhood, and then there's the Center for Christian and Muslim Understanding at Georgetown University. The center is a de facto arm of the Muslim Brotherhood," Emerson said. "

Is there anyone within the BGAV spiritually awake enough to be appalled at the blatant rebellion of the VBMB?

Matthew 7

20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'
