More on Syncretism

While my previous post on Christians Worshiping with Non-Christians grew out of the 9/11 terrorism and responded to a questioner who especially wondered about the participation of a Lutheran (LCMS Atlantic District President David Behnke), other churches also find themselves caught up in a game of strange bedfellows. Compatriot Lutheran blog What You Do, Do Quickly asked Is It Okay (for Herman) to Pray? as he examined the participation of Metropolitan Herman of the Orthodox Church of America in a National Cathedral pan-religious ceremony, the “National Service of Prayer and Remembrance for Victims of Hurricane Katrina.”

Not to stereotype, but I have severe doubts about any Orthodox cleric not sporting a full beard!
