“If they weren’t Muslim, they’d look like one of the biggest Catholic churches you’d ever seen, from an organizational standpoint,” said Marshall Medaf, president of the Beth Chaverim Reform Congregation in Ashburn, Va., which last month agreed to rent prayer space to the All-Dulles Area Muslim Society.

Memo to Rick Warren and Bill Hybels: When adherents of a false religion can take the methodolgy of today’s seeker-sensitive megachurch and apply it to their own success, the model obviously is not a biblical one.
