Not possible to give “the word” to different religions while respecting them all unless “the word” has been watered down to meaninglessness.

I would respectfully disagree.

The Word can’t be watered down. It simply is. You see it everywhere - in the sunrise, in the perfect cycle of the seasons, in the people who hear an explosion and run towards the screams rather than away. You are born knowing the Word.

I have been blessed to know many chaplains and they all had one thing in common, no matter their denomination or religion: they lived the Word. That is a more powerful testimony than any sermon could ever be.

The thing about the article though - it’s not a new concept.
