[Linked Image] [ s64.photobucket.com] Same thing. This time, in front of our local Dunkin Donuts shoppe, which is owned by a nice Catholic lady. Gave out some literature and got to speak to a few people. If I do this again this summer, I think I will be a little more proactive in asking people if they are Catholic. This was my first time and I didn't know exactly how to do public ministry like this. And I didn't want to offend anyone either!

I wonder how many people have latched onto that statement of St. Francis and used it to justify their inability or refusal to go out and TELL PEOPLE that they need a savior from their sins??? Nobody. Because Francis of Assisi didn't say those words.

And I didn't want to offend anyone either! Did you confront any Muslims?

I wasn't sure exactly how to approach people C.) none that I recognized came by the table. I have spoken with Muslims before. The interesting thing I heard in at least one conversation with a college age Muslim girl is that they apparently don't have a concept of sin. Or maybe she just didn't know her faith very well.

Or maybe she just didn't know her faith very well. I think they reject original (ancestral) sin, but have an understanding of actual sin.

I think they reject original (ancestral) sin, but have an understanding of actual sin. That's my understanding as well. Thus, they have no concept of "salvation" from sin, only reward and punishment (although a faithful Muslim can recieve forgiveness).
