Rick Warren dresses for the occassion in Religious Leaders Meet for Interfaith Dialogue at Sinai Temple .
The cap Warren wore for this event is as known a Kufi.
This style cap is typically worn by people of African descent of all faiths including Christians, African Jews, Black Hebrew Israelites, Muslims, and Buddhists.
It certainly is appropriate for this event and a match for Warren's ecumenical theology.
Seth Brisk of the AJC kicked off the event with the interfaith accomplishments of the AJC. He noted that the AJC:
- builds bridges among different communities.
- was instrumental in convincing the Roman Catholic Church in welcoming other faith communities in the Vatican's 1965 NOSTRA AETATE. The AJC drafted sections of that document.
- reaching out to the Church of Latter Day Saints.
Warren sets up his civility strawman argument, emphasizes that tolerance equates to civility. He paints with the broad brush how "It pleases God when we work together...America, in particular, is getting quite rude... we have to restore civility..."
Hats off to America's Pastor for once again misrepesenting Biblical Christianity to the general public.
