[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jew here.  I don't care if churches have Seders as long as advertising and holding the Seders have absolutely nothing to do with trying to convert Jews to Christianity.  It's hard to know if this is not a motivating factor, among others, for churches to hold Seders.  If, in fact, this has nothing to do with holding and advertising a Seder, then I really don't care if a church wants to hold its own Seder.  Hopefully there aren't any Jews who would be mislead into attending a church Seder.[/quote]

Christian here. Let me reassure you that conversion is absolutely not the intent! Our church doesn't have a sign, but for those that do, you would probably notice that the announcement of an upcoming Seder is handled no differently from announcements of other events like the pancake supper, that is, the notice is meant to inform parishioners not to attract other faiths inside. I can't swear there's no church anywhere, maybe some place like the sleazy Westboro church, that isn't hoping a potential convert would walk through the door. However, I don't personally know a single church that has conversion as the goal. The Seder is for the church's own parishioners to learn and grow.[/quote]

If that's the case, I'm totally cool with that.[/quote]

Thank you! And Happy Passover! (Is there a better way to say that?)[/quote]
