Two examples of tolerance and understanding, from the folks who think the 12th century is the place to be. Both deal with books:
Their reaction to author Salman Rushdie being knighted.
Their treatment of religious minorities.
I read Rushdie's 'Satanic Verses' when it came out just to see what all the fuss was about. OK read, but not memorable, and not best-seller material on it own, OMHO. It would have had much less of an impact if they had ignored the book years ago. As for the second incident, note that a Holy Book - a Bible - was reported desecrated. I'm sure TIME is sending reporters there as we speak, and Methodists will be justified when they riot.
What does this Episcopal priest, or the national leadership of The Episcopal Church (tm), have to say about the minions of the newest Islamic State burning a church? My money is on "not much".
