Christian, Jew and Muslim "Trialogue"

Ed Stetzer posts a very interesting interview with a Dallas pastor who recently hosted a very unique event with Christian, Jews, and Muslims.  He describes the event as follows:
The largest mosque and synagogue in DFW along with our church came together not for an inter-faith service but a multi-faith education and relationship building event. On Friday - we all went to the synagogue - had refreshments and conversation for an hour, and then and observed their worship. When it concluded me, the rabbi, and the imam took Q & A for 45 minutes. Saturday we all went to the mosque - and then Sunday they all came to the church. I'll tell you, it was strange as a pastor looking out and seeing hundreds of head coverings of hijabs, skull caps, etc., Our members worshipped with passion, clapping, raising their hands - and to see other religions interspersed through us as we worshipped was undescribeable - all I could think of was Paul in the synagogues, Mars Hill - etc., I didn't know how it would affect our worship Sunday, but for whatever reason - our worship that day was powerful simply powerful - I heard that again and again.
