On a bitterly cold and snowing afternoon in Aberdeen, the doors of St John's Episcopal Church are open to hundreds of Muslim worshippers, arriving for daily prayers.
The familiar sounds of Christian hymns have been replaced with Islamic prayer in the chapel this Friday lunchtime and the church priest with the imam from the neighbouring mosque.
Muslims from the Syed Shah Mustafa Jame Masjid mosque next door share this church with Christian worshippers up to five times a day.
Church leaders believe this may be the only place in the country where Christian and Muslim worshippers pray side by side.
The rector at St John's has opened his doors to Muslims because there was not enough space for them to pray in their own mosque and many were forced to worship outside on the street.
The Reverend Isaac Poobalan, who grew up in Southern India surrounded by Islam, said he would not have been true to his faith if he did not help his neighbours.
"It was a very cold day, like today, and when I walked past the mosque I saw dozens of male worshippers praying outside, on the streets, right near the church.
''Their hands and feet were bare and you could see their breath in the freezing cold.
''Jesus taught his disciples to love your neighbour as yourself and this is something I cannot just preach to my congregation, I had to put it into practice."
Reverend Poobalan adds: ''I felt very distressed when I saw my neighbours praying out in the cold and I knew I needed to do something to help.''
''I know I cannot solve the world's problems, but when there is a problem I can solve, I will.''

Those fools might as well open the door to the church of Satan.
What ever happened to discernment??
>>The muslims dont think they are sharing - they think they are conquering.
They don’t think they’re conquering. They already did in this “church”.
Churches and their leaders who fail in their primary objective; to spread the Gospel of His salvation grace which islam has nothing to do with, will be judged in the end. God said "NO" to Ishmael.
Can I steal that? I need it!
Abomination of desolation comes to mind.

LOL!!
Sorta like the Amurrikin Pres_dent. They both want to stay surrounded by Islam.
Isn't that special.
Dhimmies for dawa 2.0
No !
How kind and sweet. But they still hate him and when they get into power they will turn his church into a latrine.
The “Episcopal Church” has NOT been “Christian” for a LONG, LONG time. They are about as apostate as they come.
Uh. There is a reason its called a CHRISTIAN church. Because the people in it allegedly believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. Not Mohammad. But Christ. This is insanity. Its evidence that way too many “mainline” Christian ministers and priests simply view themselves as social workers. Promoting good will among the faiths is NOT something that a Christian pastor should be doing. He should be trying to convince the “imam” of the error of his ways. But to think that a mainline Christian pastor would do anything like that is laughable. Its why Christianity will disappear from the West within a couple generations.
“I just wonder, would God tell Israel to allow worshipers of Baal to come to their Temple to pray?”
Here is what happens when you try to put the Lord next to false gods.
1 Samuel 5
5 Now the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. 2 Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to the house of Dagon and set it by Dagon. 3 When the Ashdodites arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. So they took Dagon and set him in his place again. 4 But when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord. And the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold; [a]only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. 5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor all who enter Dagons house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
6 Now the hand of the Lord was heavy on the Ashdodites, and He ravaged them and smote them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territories. 7 When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god. 8 So they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to them and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said, Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought around to Gath. And they brought the ark of the God of Israel around. 9 After they had brought it around, the hand of the Lord was against the city with very great confusion; and He smote the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them. 10 So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought the ark of the God of Israel around to [b]us, to kill [c]us and [d]our people. 11 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its own place, so that it will not kill [e]us and [f]our people. For there was a deadly confusion throughout the city; the hand of God was very heavy there. 12 And the men who did not die were smitten with tumors and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
The Episcopal Church of America is no longer a Christian org. No wonder the progressive propaganda machine wants to use them as exemplars. Chrislam is the future of people stupid enough to remain in the Episcopal Church of America.
And no doubt the troglodytes from tribal Pakistan attending the ceremony are thinking: “Allah is correct! The infidels will submit to anything in the name of the Prophet!”
Hey, no this isn’t a problem for apostates. St. John the Divine in NYC allowed Wiccans to hold Black Masses on the premises.
The apostasy is growing within what once was the church. The conquest of it began in 325AD and has continued at pace for nearly two thousand years.
This apostasy will grow until it is great. Without _the_ instruction there is _no_ way to determine the way. Opinion is all that they have left to themselves...
