How has September 11th has forced Christians to think about their
relationships with people of other religions, how would you respond in
light of Christian tradition of religious pluralism?

Dear pammypetey, 

There were several different reactions, regarding other faithes and
religions, to the 9/11 attacks among Christians. Some claimed, that
the attacks, demonstrate the evil of other faithes. Others (who were
the majority) maintained, that we lack of understanding and
communication with other religions, especially Islam, in order to
encourage people of faith to cooperate against evil.

These two poles represent much of the current thought, while naturally
only the second one refers to the tradition of "Christian Pluralism".

It could be argued, for example, that Christian tradition forces us to
think about the reasons of the evil to do such a thing, and therefore
to reflect on our own actions. Our own sins, and not only the sins of
others, must be reprented upon.

Moreover, the 'revenge', the attacks on Afghanistan, might not be part
of those teachings, since instead of teaching compassion and
tolerance, they teach revenge and hatred. On the other hand, even the
most vocal Christian opposition to the war admits that "Some, calling
themselves Christian, are even claiming that US bombers are agents of
God's wrath. (See Born Again Christian respond to the attacks
http://www.born-again-christian.info/wtc.htm).

And here we get to a question in itself, on the reaction to those
belonging to other religious traditions, mainly to Islam.
Christianity, according to these views, teaches us to listen to the
others, to conduct a fruitful dialogue and thus try to salvage the
others. Muslim would convert when they hear the gospel, not when
they'd be revenged upon:
"Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for
it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.

On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty,
give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning
coals on his head."
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate
you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Holy Bible Ro. 12:14-21 Lk 6:27-28"

I hope that answered your question. Please contact me if you need any
clarifications on the answer. I have searched for Christian response
and the terms "september 11" or "9 11" to find information for you.

I belong to the Mormon = The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and we avoid the term pluralism even though we believe there is
opposition such as good and evil  God and Satan.  Mormons have long
felt that other religions provide a foundation of religious concepts
upon which Mormon doctrine can be taught, so we appreciate the efforts
of other religions and sects which are reasonably peaceful. Hopefully
other religions share our view.  Neil

I don't know if you remember or saw this, but Jerry Falwell had the
following to say about the causes of 9-11.

JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But,
throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court
system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The
abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will
not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies,
we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the
abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are
actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU,
People For the American Way - all of them who have tried to secularize
America - I point the finger in their face and say "you helped this
happen."

PAT ROBERTSON: Well, I totally concur, and the problem is we have
adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government. And so
we're responsible as a free society for what the top people do. And,
the top people, of course, is the court system.

It's definitely not a mainstream view, but there is a definite voice
in the Christian community saying that 9-11 is God's punishment -- in
a very Old Testament sort of way -- for our sins, as a nation.  If
you're a non-dispensationalist Christian, there's definitely Bibical
grounds for this.

- The pre-flood world, as a whole was destroyed for its sins (Gen
6:17)
- God's destruction of Soddom and Gommorah (Genesis 19)
- God was prepared to raze Abimelech's household if he took Sarah as
his wife (Gen 20)
- Throughout the books of the law, God makes very dire predictions of
destructions he will unleash on Israel should they turn from his will
(Deut 7:4, 7:16, the whole of Deut 8 -- and there are more)

These are a few of the entries resulting from a search on "destroy" in
the Bible Gateway http://bible.gospelcom.net/ If you continue reading
through, you'll find body counts greater and sufferings worse than
9-11.

Any answer which does not include this voice has not told the whole
story.
