Interfaith services are a growing trend, apparently

From here:

Washington—As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, interfaith relations in the U.S. are taking on new importance. A case in point is the growing momentum of the Faith Shared project, an interfaith initiative designed to promote understanding and respect across all religions through joint services.

Sunday, June 26, saw dozens of events taking place in houses of worship across the country, including the Episcopal Church in the United States of America’s National Cathedral in Washington. Led by several religious leaders, including an imam, a rabbi and a priest, the cathedral service included readings from the Torah and the Q’uran. Similar celebrations took place in more than 70 other churches and 32 other states.

“What we have done together in this great cathedral this morning, along with others in similar services in houses of worship across our nation, can alter the image and substance of our nation, as well as our religion,” said the Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, president of the Washington-based Interfaith Alliance, one of the  project’s sponsors. “Today’s beautifully written liturgy, informed by Islam, Judaism and Christianity, declares unambiguously that we are not scripture burners but, rather, scripture readers.

What exactly are the people who attend one of these interfaith services worshipping? Jesus dressed in a burka over a kippah?

Or are they worshipping each other’s tolerance?
