- Most of the problem stems from the fact that people seem to be
- unwilling or unable to learn that it is not true that belief in
- God - even very broadly defined, let alone the all too common
- notion of the Christian God by another name - is common to all
- religions? Perhaps if the BSA is going to pay more than lip
- service to its ideals of pluralism and understanding others
- it should add some real instruction in comparative religion.
- This retraining is apparently most needed at the highest levels
- of leadership.
