[Dialogue] What have we heard from other religious bodies/groups?

[John P Cock via Dialogue]

Thank you, Karen. The below Islamic news/attachment ARE encouraging. What
have we heard from Christians other than Roman Catholics--from whom we¹ve
heard much via the Pope¹s encyclical and his US Congress and United
Nations talks? What have we heard from other religious bodies/groups?
