From the CNN Belief Blog: Churches Read From Qu'ran In Face Of Proposed Qu'ran Burning (emphasis mine)
Rev. Larry Reimer’s says there's a simple message at the core of his faith: people have more in common than they have in conflict.
It's one reason he chose to have a passage from the Quran read at the United Church of Gainesville, part of the United Church of Christ, on Sunday.
And he wasn’t alone.
More than 20 religious leaders from Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim backgrounds around Gainesville had the same Quran passage read - along with Christian and Hebrew scriptures– at their congregations over the weekend. Local synagogues made it part of their Rosh Hashanah celebrations.
It was a sign of unity after weeks of talk by a Florida pastor who threatened to burn the Muslim holy book on 9-11 but who ultimately cancelled (sic) the event.
There's always at least one screwball who doesn't understand what ecumenism is truly about. And during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (presumably), no less. What a sacrilege.
