Are you open and comfortable to receiving spiritual communion / counsel from someone who practices a different religion than you? Why or why not?

Asked by prolificus (6583points) April 13th, 2010

If you’re a “born-again” Christian, would you pray with a practicing Jew or Buddhist? (I don’t mean by leading the other in the “sinner’s prayer.” I mean specifically sitting down with the other and praying together, being prayed for by the other.)

If you’re Buddhist, would you study sacred text with a Muslim?

If you’re a Pentecostal, would you break bread (observe communion) with a Baptist or Catholic? If you’re Catholic, would you partake in Holy Communion with a Methodist?

If you’re an Atheist or Agnostic, would you seek guidance from anyone who practices any religion or faith?

The combinations are endless, but the point is this: What are your limits of receiving spiritual communion / counsel from someone who is not of the same religion or faith?
