Multi-Faith Seminary

As this news report from PBS shows, Claremont Lincoln University, a graduate school in California, is the first in the United States to bring together Christians, Jews and Muslims in the same classrooms to educate the future leaders of churches, synagogues and mosques.

Claremont Lincoln is actually the creation of a much older institution, United Methodist-affiliated Claremont School of Theology, founded in 1885.  It partnered with Southern California’s Academy of Jewish Religion and the Islamic Center of Southern California to form this new school. Students attending this school can get master’s degrees in divinity, rabbinic studies and Muslim counseling.

    It is a liberal college town, I had an English Professor who lived there. He and his colleages tried to stop the celebration in his sons elementary kindergarten class in 2008, of the Indians and Pilgrims first Thanksgiving. Political correctness crap. Crazy , but not surprised this seminary is in Claremont, Ca. Chrislam, Hebrewislam all rolled into a new world religion coming soon along with the NWO?

    Well, if you believe nothing is really “true” and yet everything is “true”, it isn’t a great leap…
