Recitations from ancient Sanskrit scriptures will reverberate in a Christian church in Nevada on the occasion of coming Thanksgiving eve service.
Rajan Zed, the prominent Hindu chaplain, will read from Rig-Veda (oldest existing scripture of the world dated from around 1,500 BCE), Upanishads (Hindu scriptures containing mystical teachings), and Bhagavad-Gita (famous philosophical and spiritual poem) in Trinity Episcopal Church in Reno (Nevada) during Twenty-second Annual Thanksgiving Service of Northwestern Nevada to be held on November 21 evening.
Despite conflicts around the world, various faith traditions in northwestern Nevada will come together to share the spirit of love on Thanksgiving, Zed says. Shanti-Shanti, the only Sanskrit rock band of the world, will perform on the occasion. Choirs from area Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Trinity Episcopal Church will also sing. A procession of the clergy dressed in an array of religious garb will be held before the Service.
All people have more in common than they have in conflict and challenge today is to seek unity that celebrates diversity, Zed adds.

Judyth Piazza calls that church a Christian church? She is off her rocker. Any church that allows someone of a pagan religion to speak behind its pulpit is not Christian. That church is a heretical church. God will vomit that church out of His mouth. As for the Hindu chaplain, he is preaching and teaching “another gospel,” so he is accursed, as far as God is concerned. As for the pastor, he is accursed as well, because he is promoting things and people that contradict God’s Word.
Episcopagan or PC-USA?
Yup, Episcopagan... LIke they told me at the SATs: Always go with your first guess.
>> BTW Hebrew Scriptures were written around 1000BC during the time of King David and were officially defined and closed in 91 AD. <<
In an article breathtakingly called “Score one for the believers,” the NYT concluded that the book of Joshua was written by a witness to the fall of Jericho, based on the book containing knowledge which couldn’t have been gleamed after the fact, and details which would have been unlikely to have survived oral transmission.
That would put the battle of Jericho at 1300 BC, or, according to the Glasgow Chronology, 1600.
Oops... made a mistake. When I was checking for the battle of Jericho’s date, I misread the section on the Glasgow Chronology, which actually shifts only dates in Egyptian chronology, leaving the exodus to have occurred under a different pharoah.
Wierd thing: Is the “Shawshank Redemption” a reference to Pharouah Shashanq?
Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.
FReepmail Huber or sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (sometimes 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by Huber and sionnsar.

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15
The Episcopal Church is not Christian, and has not been so for decades (since 1979, in fact, when it repudiated the Anglican Articles of Religion). Until people start getting out there and calling it like it is and classifying it with other cults like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, it is going to continue to deceive people, especially in the area of promoting homosexual behavior and in declaring that heretical beliefs such as Universalism, Wicca, Druidism and Islam are compatible with Christianity.
