Who Said That?

"The way forward for theological education will be deeply interfaith, or it will fail.  The fact is our lives are now interfaith, in bone-deep ways.  We live in interfaith families; we eat Middle Eastern food for lunch, kosher for dinner. ... We have hymns on our iPods, yoga mats in our backpacks, Torah prayers by our bedsides. "

OK . . . Who said that?  Leave your guesses in the comments section below.  Please, no google searches.  The whole point is to guess!

So, this is the future of theological education.  This is from Dr. Serene Jones's inaugural address as the new president of Union Theological Seminary in New York (Nov. 17).

Well, since several Brian McLarens have been offered, I'll go with Rob Bell.

Eating foreign food is being interfaith bone deep? Ha! Someone guessed Satan; I agree. It's long been the case he is the father of lies and this is certainly one of those.

I don't have a clue but to be different I'll say Bishop Wright. I'll bet it's Rowan or McLaren though. I ate peanut butter jelly sandwiches for lunch today. I guess I'm a bigot :P
