The One Church is a-Comin'

Now and then I show how many streams of the more "apostate" evangelical wings are getting together into one synthesized, fused mess. The other day I posted a revival church (NAR) that now has nothing at their website about revial as they had beore, but suddenly they have always been a "help the poor church," although they never had that at their website for the past 10 years. Almost every evangelical church in America is getting on the social justice/social gospel bandwagon so I guess it isn't surprising the NAR churches might get on it too.

So, here's my next "prediction." I read in my hometown paper today (the Los Angeles Times) about the Claremont Grad School of Theology (traditionally a fairly liberal place) now about to offer training for Muslim and Jewish clerics. They also hope to offer training for Buddhist and Hindu clerics in the future. What do you bet some of the traditionally evangelical seminaries are next with this same thing? Want to bet on Fuller anyone? I mean, a seminary who has just hired Tony Jones as an adjunct professor must not far behind the Claremont Grad School of Theology.
