A Few Comments
Q: Did Cantor Wolberg need to reply at all? Couldn't he have ignored this fellow?
A: Possibly. Maybe ignoring him had some merit. However, a well-conceived response is also a valid approach, and can possibly turn a negative into a positive.
Comment:
In this world where "My Way Vs. The Highway" or "I'm OK you're NOT OK". Thinking, maybe it's time to introduce concepts of multiple valid paths, elu v'elu, and win-win thinking. Encounter need not be about winning at the other guy's expense.
I'm not sure why other religions need to advance an authoritarian agenda demanding obeisance from other faiths. What's wrong with every faith community being best at their own path? Why can't Jews be for Judaism, Catholics for Catholicism, Etc. and simply let God sort things out?
Methinks that this Evangelist dost protest a bit too much. Let him work on himself first. K'shot atzm'cha v'achar kach k'shot Acheirim.
Cantor Wolberg has shown the way to allow for a pluralistic and tolerant approach. Let each community follow its own best, holiest, and brightest lights towards Godliness.
Shalom and Regards,
