Dear Andreas,

It seems pretty clear, as you imply, that we do not worship 'the same God', and their letter puts much emphasis on the 'oneness' of God. So, theologically, as well as factually, the statement is untrue.

Then there is the other aspect of this letter. If those subscribing to it are 'moderates' then to reject it would be to play into the hands of the extremists, who would be able to say that we Christians are still 'crusaders' at heart. So it would seem politic, as well as polite, to give an equally vague but warm response - and see what happens then.

In Christ,

John
