On Nation Public Radio's Coverage of a Baha'i Children's Class: Superb!
Two major blog mentions, one National Public Radio, one Baha'i Faith. -gw
Superb Story + NPR’s Style = Great Coverage
Layli and Gil Miller-Muro, two members of the Baha’i Faith in northern Virginia, approached friends in their community who are members of other religions about the idea of a new kind of Sunday school for young children … where families from a range of religions would gather to learn about helpfulness, obedience, service and friendliness - virtues shared by all the world religions. Such weekly children’s classes are hosted by Baha’is throughout the U.S.

Unifying faith

It's exciting to me to think that we can unite knowing that we all have "faith" in common...no matter how we choose to celebrate that faith. Faith that drives a people leads to good things--whether Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, etc. We are not that different.
The Baha'i faith has recognized this and has begun sponsoring Sunday School classes that do just that...bring people of different religions together to learn from each other and learn with each other about virtues. You can read/listen to the segment here: Class Teaches Virtues to Children of Many Faiths.

Not everybody likes the idea. Read: "The Delusion of Unity" on Total Depravity - http://www.totaldepravity.net/
