As faithfully as Sabbath candles on Friday evening or church bells Sunday morning, dozens of clergy meet weekly to practise a spirited form of interfaith dialogue.
Its called curling.
Most are from the United Church, but there are sprinklings of Lutherans, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Jesuits and a handful of rabbis and cantors. Some are in their 30s and a few older than 80, and several have shared the ice for decades.
The members of the Greater Toronto Interfaith Curling Club dont talk theology on the ice, says Rev. Bert Foliot, a Jesuit priest and Rector of Regis College at the University of Toronto.

(13,029 posts)Of course not. Your implication that I did is just more of your habitual dishonesty. You really can't help but just make shit up, can you? And of course when it comes to wrongs, you don't do soundings..except when you do.
The article YOU posted and headlined is concerned with RELIGIOUS barriers, and that's what my reply was directed at. If you'd like to deflect from your own point with more apologetics and more "lots of other things are just as bad as religion" nonsense, feel free.

(82,333 posts)Someone has to be stupid or dishonest to imply the historical separations of peoples is religious at the core.

(13,029 posts)The article was about RELIGIOUS barriers. Do you need that explained a third time? Or was the article you posted as superficial as you're accusing me of being? I didn't post it, and I NEVER implied that the separations between people are solely religious. I said that RELIGIOUS barriers wouldn't need to be overcome if religion weren't so divisive. But you know that, despite the fact that you're sure to lie about it again (and then argue that your habitual lying is "extraneous"

Maybe I can find an article about little old ladies who crochet scripture sayings. I can imagine the outcry.
