As a young minister, I attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth. One of my favorite courses was called “Comparative Religions”, a study of the history and beliefs of all the faiths around the world. Here in America, we not only see a cross section of languages and ethnic groups, but religions as well.
