tinytherese Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 So in the world religions class that I've been in this semester we've been learning about these faiths. I was wondering how we go about bringing their conversion. They have the tendency to be syncretistic, which makes it difficult. I know of one Buddhist girl that says that she is also Christian. This is not unusual when it comes to eastern thought and practice. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LouisvilleFan Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Could also give Thomas Merton a try. He gets a bad rap from traditionally-minded Catholics, but then... so does John Paul II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
