In a sign of growing acceptance of U.S. Muslims, one of the most prominent religious leaders in the country, evangelical pastor Rick Warren, spoke recently at the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). Representatives from the two largest streams of American Judaism, the Reform and Conservative movements, also attended to highlight their newly formed partnerships with the Muslim group, which is based in Plainfield, Indiana.
Warren, the founder and senior pastor of Saddleback Church, an evangelical megachurch in Lake Forest, California, is a bestselling author of many Christian books, including The Purpose Driven Life.
