Al Mohler noted the following on his blog:

The Associated Press reports that the Vatican and the World Council of Churches are working on “a common code for religious conversions.” The groups are also expected to seek contributions to the process from Muslim leaders, among others.

“How can we — anxious to maintain, develop and nurture good relations with people of other faiths — deal with this highly complex issue that sometimes threatens the fiber of living together?” asked the Rev. Hans Ucko. Ucko directs the interreligious relations office for the World Council of Churches.

More:

Envoys from the Vatican’s office on interreligious dialogue and the Geneva-based WCC — which includes more than 350 mainline Protestant, Orthodox and related churches –are scheduled to open a four-day conference Friday near Rome to sketch out the broad outlines toward an eventual “code of conduct” on Christian conversions. The document could take at least three years to research and draft.

Members of other faiths, including Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims, also plan to attend the meeting in Velletri, about 25 miles southeast of Rome.

On another note:

The biggest challenges to the project will be highlighted by who will be absent: Pentecostal and evangelical-style congregations that often lead the drive for conversions around the world and represent the fastest-growing bloc in Christianity.

In other words, a group generally opposed to a conversionist theology (the World Council of Churches) is now trying to develop a code for conversions.

If you can imagine a common “conversion plan” between Catholics, ‘Christians’, Buddhists, and Muslims. You can only have a common conversion plan if your group or entity has no basis of truth. Oh yeah, we are talking about the World Council of Churches here where truth is relative. What an oxymoron, ‘relative truth.’
