(Poor Bill - hijacked again!)

Today on Facebook (I still don't know my way around, so whatever pops up when I open it is what I read:) the Episcopal priest I used to work for mentioned that he was in the middle of a course in learning about the Qur'an with a group.

One of his church members responded to the priest's message by saying that the "God of the Bible is not the god of the Qur'an".

So I wrote: "Speaking as someone who does not have a dog in this hunt, I would say that the God of the Old Testament has more than a passing resemblance to the God of the Qur'an."

I don't know if it will get a response or not. No worries.

Little Hawk, I tend to think of synchronicity using the model of a strawberry patch: the blooms and the berries and the leaves are on top and visible but under the surface, all the plants are connected.
