I was reading the thread about Cordoba's Cathedral in the World Affairs section, which made me wonder about this question.
Rather than putting it into the thread there, I decided to start a new thread here.
My question is: Has anybody been to a place of worship, where Muslims and Christians worship side by side? (At least Eric and Dawud_uk have made references to having participated in this kind of joint worship)
If so, what is that like?
Do people think it is beneficial? Or should it be avoided?
Has it been interesting/helpful/distracting/annoying to watch others worship the same God in different ways?
Thank you.
Peace
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker

i get confused - how is kirtan different from gurbani?
i like the guitar very much, but have never heard it in gurbani, and don't think i'd like it - i like the traditional style - have never checked out the western style.
bhai avtar singh (who died recently) used sarangi - he is from a generation which has been singing gurbani since the time of the gurus and still sings in the style it was done then.
here's a link: http://www.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/news....257234006F0867
you can also listen to his music on that site.
i don't understand where you get the idea that anything but the harmonium is forbidden - it is not even a native instrument. i like the harmonium (it is also widely used in qawwali), but certainly have heard sarangi - and tabla is always there. the advantage of harmonium is that unlike the hindustani instruments, it does not need to be tuned forever and it is more convenient.

Did i say forbidden? It's just you only see the tabla, harmonuim, and the chemta (large tabourine thingy but long)
