I just found out about it, and thought this was the only thread I could take it to - It's rather a shocking story, and those who signed the letter - <blockquote><b>Christian leaders ask for Muslim forgiveness</b></blockquote> We just found out about this. The list of signers regarding the letter is most interesting. <blockquote><a href="http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data/theuae/2007/November/theuae_November688.xml&section=theuae" rel="nofollow">Christian leaders ask for Muslim forgiveness</a></blockquote> I hope you won’t find this too off topic.

Dont discount it as a tool of the Holy Spirit in the least. Has anyone catalogued what is said/seen in the dreams? Who is the speaker? (Departed relative, carpenter with Jewish appearance)? At the same time, don't most Christians in the west disparage all the "near death experience" claims where patients report seeing a warm light source and are overwhelmed with a sense of deep love??

Have you hugged a terrorist lately? While I'm not all that keen on his suggestion, Brother Andrew is my hero! I'll have to ask for <i>Secret Believers</i> for Christmas. Another good book of his on this subject is <i>Light Force</i>. Michelle #6 - Do not fear going to Israel. Israel has a lower annual murder rate than Washington DC. I have been several times and always felt very safe. I would live there, except my wife feels like you do. Even so, she went with me and it was the trip of a lifetime for her. “As Brother Andrew would say, the best way to stop a terrorist from shooting you is to go up and hug him.”

While distributing bibles (NT) with the Gideons at Northern Virginia Community Coll. one time, I attempted to hand one to a young lady. She didn't stop, she said in passing.
