Thanks John... a lot of that is sound common sense.. What's missing I think... (and it would be a huge add on to a curriculum) is the relationship between race and religion... and I'm specially thinking of hown racism and Islamophobia are intertwined.. But we do need church leaders who are clear thinking not just about their theology of religions and positions on mission /evangelism to people from the major world faiths, but are aware of how religious identity segregates local communities and leads to prejudice and discrimination.

Thanks for raising this - a large and complex topic, and (as with last week) too easily overlooked from my London-centric location.
