Actually, they did. I just forgot until you mentioned it (having the specifics of 12 religious leaders crammed into one hour was quite overwhelming!). They did not, however, mention that there was also a Chief Rabbi of Sephardi as well. > (I probably sound as aggressive as he does with the above.)

Many of the twelve had titles that spanned multiple lines - they were pretty specific. As for an agenda, I don't really think they were trying to show religions in good or poor lights - the show was very balanced. They covered a number of important issues, both personal and more global, and only one or two of the questions they posed were centered on terrorism and/or fighting for the faith. I'll be entirely honest and say that Dr Frank Page was the only one who scared me on pretty much every answer. I only listed three at the bottom because I listed three at the top of my preference list. I will say that I feel more comfortable with religious people who preach love for all - rather than just love for those of their own faith - and who accept other faiths without the "our truth is the only truth attitude" (which is why I'm less comfortable with the "book" religions in general than the looser and in my view more spiritual religions). -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:249059 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
