Quotable from Rahim’s website:

Even though some would like to see us abandon religion altogether as a useless relic from the past, I would like to see us upgrade and redesign religion so that it fulfills its original intention. No matter how old these religions are or what culture they come from, they still hold truths that can speak to us and feed us…. We have a lot of good hearty work to do, so I invite you to roll up your sleeves and join me.

Just as many of us are seeking new ways of being authentically Christian, we have counterparts doing similar work in Islam, Judaism, and other religions too.
