Community of Christ, 2005 Peace Colloquy, JW Windland , 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"
