On the Streets of Babylon: Celebrating Ramadan?

Babylon is fallen, is fallen,...  Come out of her, my people,
Revelation 14:8/18:4

There seems to be some on the Streets of Babylon celebrating "Ramadan"....


"The largest United Methodist Church congregation in the United States hosted a dinner with the local Muslim community as part of the Islamic season of Ramadan.
Church of the Resurrection of Leawood, Kansas, which is headed by the Rev. Adam Hamilton, hosted the iftar dinner, the meal which Muslims eat after sunset during Ramadan, on May 22.
Hamilton explained that his church wanted to "demonstrate the love of Christ" by holding the event.
About 320 people attended the event last week, including about 40 Muslims. In addition to dinner the event featured opening remarks by Hamilton and a Muslim representative of the interfaith group the Dialogue Institute of Kansas City.... both groups engaged in conversation about matters including how Ramadan is celebrated and experiences with fasting."
