3 May 2009 has been called Pluralism Sunday, when “Progressive Christians thank God for religious diversity!” What we have here is a particular face of pluralism. It is a more limited face that claims that there is one God and many paths to that one God. Or as they put it on the website: “Celebrating the many paths to God.” In another OST post awhile back, I referred to this as a kind of reducible pluralism, where the visible plurality of religions around the world are ultimately reduced to one final destination—all the paths lead to the top of the same mountain, so to speak.
