“Is it an event worthy of an evangelical's time?”

When you set up a conversation in which conversion is never a real possibility, and yet in which genuine and respectful love is clearly evident—well, is it an event worthy of an evangelical's time?

Mark Galli, covering Bob Roberts’ Global Faith Forum in which he invited representatives from Islam and Judaism to join him in a discussion of the differences, similarities, and misunderstandings among the Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Sound familiar? Galli’s close:

To many evangelicals, Roberts's work feels as if it might be compromising evangelical faith. Then again, you have to wonder what has happened to our faith when we think that loving people in a way that makes them feel loved makes us think we have stopped following Jesus.
