I found this happening in the Coastal Bend Mission Center, Joanne Chapman's stomping grounds. But I imagine it is going on all over the community-not-of-Christ.

You do understand that anti-Christ means "against Christ". Take a look at the following. I looked over the threads of this board and decided this was the proper place.

http://www.coastalbendmc.org/exploration/Covenant.doc

This is entitled "Covenant Agreement". I consider a covenant to be pretty serious business.

Some objectives of this covenant agreement are:

"Expose me to diverse thinking about Christianity and its relationship to other world religions"

"Sensitize me to varied opinions and new methods for examining theology and scripture"

"Allow me the space and freedom to struggle with my personal theology and belief system, without requiring me to accept or reject others� (prescribed) positions"

"Provide me with useful perspectives for leadership, and"

Some requirements of this covenant are:

"Stretch beyond my comfort zone"

"Listen attentively without judgment or predisposition to facilitators and my fellow participants"

"Confidentially hold sacred all that is shared within the group."

One is supposed to sign it and date the paper and submit it to:

This is in keeping with what began to become public as late as 2002. I'm sure a great deal of groundwork came before that.

In 2002 one of the reports given to the world conference of the Community of Christ was H-8 Interfaith Relations Committee Report. (Community of Christ 2002 World Conference Bulletin pp. 75-78)

H-8 Interfaith Relations Committee Report

(H-8) "The most troublesome text for the Christian community regarding other religious traditions is to be found in Acts 4:12. This text makes exclusive claims to salvation through Jesus Christ and him alone. This text has tended to foster prejudice toward not only Jews but all other religious claims as well because of its exclusivity. This text is best understood within the context of the sermon preached by Peter in the company of John and others. It should not be universalized and become a framework for either missional or theological purposes."

AUTHENTIC CHRISTIAN MISSION IN A MULTIFAITH WORLD

"Christianity's monopoly on salvation is over."

"Non-Christian traditions must be recognized for what they are � fully franchised systems of salvation with practitioners as decent and devoted as any other, with scholars as intelligent and gifted as any other, with members as whole and holy as any other. Any model of authentic Christian mission in a multifaith world must acknowledge that"

http://www.worldreligions.ca/whatwedo/symbols.html

"One of our most popular offerings, Sacred Symbols is a visually stunning presentation of world religion symbols that lets you learn about religious traditions through their symbols, statues, clothing, prayer items and instruments."

http://www.worldreligions.ca/whatwedo/wisdom.html

Be part of a multi-faith worship experience that celebrates the rituals and practices of the world's religions. This is not your ordinary worship service � it utilizes the music, scriptures, prayers and ritual objects of the world's major religions. Be touched by the beauty of the sounds, the symbols and the written word of diverse traditions.

How can anyone mistake the Community of Christ as being Christians? Consider the above and their homosexual agenda.

Speaking of Jesus Christ, Acts 4:12 says, "Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."
