[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Christian and an Interfaith Minister.  I’ve never met a Jewish person who took issue with non-Jews participating in a Seder.  It’s a story of liberation.  Of freedom from slavery.  It’s not a “Christian” holiday.  But it is a story of faith, perseverance, and triumph.  Both Christians and Jews recognize the same Abrahamic God.  The God that we believe guided them out of slavery and oppression. It is literally a retelling of a story from the OT.  Most Christians do still believe the stories.  Even those like me who view sacred scripture as mostly allegory understand the importance of the lessons in these stories.[/quote]

Wow. This is the height of arrogance!!

First of all let me introduce myself as a Jew who is offended by Christian seders. Hi.

Second -- there are many links in this post to articles written by Jews that explain why this is offensive. The fact that you choose to disregard this in favor of a handful of Jews you claim don't care makes me scared for your congregation.

Third --I frankly find it hard to believe that none of the Jews that you've ever met were offended by Christians calling matzo the body of Christ and (kosher) wine the blood of Christ.

I just don't believe you.[/quote]
