Saudi's King Abdullah Wants Interfaith Dialogue

King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has for the first time proposed a dialogue between Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Yesterday's London Times reports that the king, following up on his November trip to the Vatican, made his announcement at a forum in Riyadh. Expressing concern over the disintegration of families and the rise of atheism around the world, he said: "If God wills it, we will then meet with our brothers from other religions, including those of the Torah and the Gospel to come up with ways to safeguard humanity."
