However, I find the idea of Christian pluralism very illogical....it seems to me like it's just a way of justifying her faith by proclaiming that she's more tolerant than other Christians. How can she firmly believe all of the tenets of Christian faith but still be open to thinking that other faiths may be correct? Wouldn't that just mean she believed in a generic God and perhaps be an agnostic believer? I guess Christianity to me is defined as believing in God (the God of Abraham) and also believing that Jesus died on the cross, etc. etc. How can that be true if other religions are true as well? Does anyone else have an opinion on that? I'm curious. I did hear this segment, and I thought it was great that she had broadened her horizons a bit.

I'm also hoping she goes back and speaks to that sunday school teacher that made such a egocentric comment. I hope to travel abroad someday and envy that opportunity she was able to get.
