[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what "the wrong message" would be.

I would because I want my children to be friends with all people regardless of their religious beliefs. I want them to love and respect others no matter what religious ceremonies they attend.

I am Catholic and we live in MoCo so eventually they will go to a Bar Mitzva.

To me that send the correct message not the wrong message.

You missed the point.  The wrong message is to the MIL, in letting her think she's going to be taking the child to church on a regular basis.  I'm Jewish too OP and also in an interfaith marriage. (No need to engage the poster who doesn't understand why a cultural but non-practicing Jew would feel uncomfortable in an evangelical church.). I would take the child for a special occasion, like a Christmas pageant or baptism, and make it clear to MIL that this is a visit only, and it's a one time deal. Although if your DH doesn't want to go I probably wouldn't bother. Just let him explain it to her. [/quote]
