Amusing

Watching the Pope's meeting with inter-religious leaders on EWTN. At one point, leaders of the 5 different religious communities Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain were introduced one at a time as they came up to meet the Pope.

My eyes really got big when I thought I heard this:

"Bishop Jongmae K. Park of the Korean Baptist Taego Order"


The ultimate post-modern: A Baptist Buddhist Bishop!

But it was too good to be entirely true.

Apparently he is called a Bishop (Do Buddhists have "Bishops" or is this simply an westernized equivalent?) but he is not a Baptist.

He is the
Reverend Bishop Jongmae K. Park, Ph.D. from the Korean Buddhist Taego Order of
Los Angeles, California

That would work well in Boulder, eh ;-)

Oh thanks for clarifying this. I was taken aback and thought I'd misheard. So, Abp Sklba just introduced the "Baptist" part by mistake then?
