Teaching World Religions in Church

Tim Townsend has an interesting little write up on a local Lutheran church that is offering a course on Islam:

Thomas, who was on staff at Concordia Seminary in Clayton for 18 years, said he believes the Bible studies at St. Paul's have stayed on the respectful side of the line. His goal with the classes, he said, is to explain the teachings of another religion and to ask why Lutherans don't believe the same thing.

Notably, one of Lindenwood's esteemed religion professors gets in on the fun towards the end of the piece.
