text: Our Church contributes to division and disharmony in its mission and in the civilizational journey of the Creator by its persistence in teaching "as if" Jesus brought charity, civility, morals and virtue, and indeed "the Father", to the world. Of course Jesus the reformer, the intellectual and leader, took these concepts further and, unlike many of the "thinkers" (and our clerics) of history, was of course, incarnational in his insistence that they are so much more than mere ideas (no platonist he).
  Love, compassion, justice, the divine itself,  is so much broader than Christianity. Christ didn't invent "God", he elevated man's relationship with God. If the Creator is "at work" in creation, surely God is at work in other religions.  This does not mean to agree with all, but certainly to respect, listen, learn, "be with".  Phan is right.
