Christians, I’m horrified that we still have to say this, but:

There is absolutely no reason to convert anyone who practices another religion, and/or is happy in their own spiritual practice or lack thereof.

ESPECIALLY people of an already marginalized faith. Stop it.

Jesus’s command was to make *disciples.*. We have plenty of marginally culturally Christians who we can work on turning into disciples to keep us busy for a while.

(Being a disciple means living a radical life of welcoming the stranger, feeding the poor, working for justice, and loving the image of God in all people.)

There are also more than enough people in our world who are searching for something deeper and more real, but who are alienated from our congregations.

Let’s create faith communities for them, open and consensual for people to encounter God.
