Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim religious leaders have been invited to a 9/11 tribute event being held at the National Cathedral. Oddly enough, Evangelical Christians are currently not represented. Read about their petition to be part of the memorial HERE.

No Catholics either it seems. Well, its fair to say there are no Eastern Orthodox either, so ergo: Christians need not apply.
What the frig is a Bhuddist nun?

Call me a bigot, but it is inappropriate and unacceptable to me that muslim "religious leaders" will be present, by invitation no less.

Are we sure of the veracity of this claim? I have been of the understanding that no religious leaders have been officially invited to the event. I find that ludicrous as well, but inviting mystics and imams and no priests, pastors, or rabbis is different than excluding all clergy.

How can there be no Christians at an event held in a Cathedral? And personally I don't get this whole New Age trend of having multi-faith services in your house of worship. I am fine and dandy with interfaith cooperation, but a Christian church is a building and site consecrated to Christ. Use of it for the worship of other deities is, well, blasphemous.

Didn't Obama speak at Not re Dame University and they had to cover a Religious Symbol in the background? I still can't believe they allowed him to speak there. Haven't been worth a crap in Football ever since! ::evil::

If I'm clear on the wheres, the "do" to which you refer is being held in NYC and it is Bloomberg that excluded religious leaders. At issue in this thread is the service in DC.

Rather ironic, isn't it.
-
Ah, you're right Pan. I was mixing up the events.
This is completely outrageous.

It IS outrageous. So is Bloomberg's decision to exclude clergy in NY, as well as -- get this -- firefighters (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111904716604576546661793655324.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEFTTopOpinion#).
Who—especially on the 10th anniversary of their sacrifice—would deny the first responders their due and proper honor? New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. His office says that because of the number of victims' family members attending there's not enough room to accommodate first responders at Ground Zero that day, though "we're working to find ways to recognize and honor first responders, and other groups, at different places and times." Different places and times?

Glock's made a point that cannot be stressed enough - "a Christian church is a building and site consecrated to Christ. Use of it for the worship of other deities is, well, blasphemous". Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
eta: I've begun to dread every year now the coming around of 9/11; if it's not the mawkish displays, it's the outrageous uses the day is being put to.

I'm making an effort to find an appropriate event to take my youngest daughter to. I don't want her growing up thinking 9/11 is some day to go volunteer to show you care!
So far I haven't found anything that works for me.
