The man handed me a book proposal on "Christian Civility" just before I attended the session on interfaith dialogue and understanding. We talked briefly and laughed, even, about how much better the world would be if people of faith could only get along, especially, Baptists.
I think he would have found the “Can We Get Along?” session heartening. The Baptists in the room agreed that the time had come for building relationships—not just with each other, but with every human being—in a non-judgmental way. The speakers voiced not only tolerance, but advocacy for religious freedom, and for acceptance of what we can learn from Muslim believers, Hindus, Sikhs, Jews and, yes, Baptists of all kinds.
