If you are not aware a group of Muslim Clerics recently wrote “A Common Word Between Us and You” an attempt to find common ground between Christian and Muslims.
Even more recently “300 Leading Christian Scholars” (Obviously ever word in that statement is open to interpretations!) published an endorsement of this document in the NY Times: (just like with “Evangelicals and Catholics Together” some of these folks are a real disappointment! i.e. Timothy George, Bill Hybels, Tony Jones, Brain McLaren, Richard Mouw, Robert Schuller, John Stackhouse, John Stott, Rick Warren, Christopher Wright) – see all the of the signatories to this “Christian Response” which was published in the NY Times here.
Hear and watch John Piper’s response to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTY-9FY13kw

Thanks very much for sending this – was note aware of it. It’s identical in approach to the ECT efforts years ago.
You know, you have to wonder if evangelicals will be so duped by this, why wouldn’t they also be duped by the Antichrist? I really trust they won’t be around to show the world the answer to that question.
You work in a very difficult vocation. This kind of thinking is going to get worse and worse. I played the video by John Piper and he is right on, stating that they left out the next verse in the John passage which addresses Jesus as the Son of God. I know the “Evangelicals and Catholics Together” left out the Reformation, which presents Biblical salvation, different than what the Roman Catholic Church teaches.
I am very surprised by the response of so called Evangelical Pastors, Scholars, etc. who should know better. Unfortunately the average lay person believes that all sounds good, and cannot separate lies from the truth.
