First of all, it's a text approved by TEC; I suspect it was requested by Bishop Wright; I'm sure it is one of the many things that will be communicated to the parish in the next several weeks. 

The Diocese of Atlanta is moving strongly to explore and participate in many interfaith activities. The most recent diocesan council took place at The Temple in Atlanta. Bishop Wright was hoping to have a future council at one of the large masjids in Atlanta, but it appears that probably won't happen. I'm also quite sure that discussion has begun with the Metropolitan of the Greek Orthodox community. 

I think it all fits.

And to put that on an ordinary parish is just fine, ... with some explanation.  Without said explanation, it's just doin' it.  Why?)
