Reston Bible Church: https://www.restonbible.org/event/sederdinner/

Kempsville Christian Church in Virginia Beach: https://www.facebook.com/120792194598818/posts/4295882487089747/?extid=0&d=n

Seneca Creek Community Church in Gaithersburg: https://senecacreek.org/event/good-friday-passover-seder-experience/[/quote]

And what did their leadership,say when you contacted them directly? How did it go?[/quote]

Wait so now you’ve moved on from claiming it doesn’t really happen to attacking us for not contacting these Churches? [/quote]

Surely you first tried direct communication with churches that we're hosting events you found offensive to start a productive dialogue, yes?

Do you mean to tell me the only way you are addressing an issue that is important to you is by...throwing spaghetti at a wall on DCUM?

Huh. Doesn't seem very solution- and dialogue-oriented. [/quote]

How do you know I’m not planning to reach out to them?

But sure — continue to blame the minority group. Great look.[/quote]

How do I know? Because you haven't said: I will be contacting them directly, instead of making generalized and mostly inaccurate PSAs on DCUM. That's how I know. Care to correct me by declaring now that you will be contacting the actual places that actually do this directly? [/quote]

Why do you feel the need to police my behavior?

You’re really something else.[/quote]

OK, got it. You're not after seeking dialogue or solutions with people actually doing something that offends you. You're just wanting to generally spew vitriol at people who...aren't doing that thing.

You're not seeking to be productive, you're seeking to generalize and be divisive. Got it.[/quote]

I don’t owe you a declaration. Whether or not I contact these places is not your business.

I think I probably will, but I don’t owe you information about it.[/quote]

But I owe you details and justifications of my spiritual practices in my own home or house of worship?

Wow. I owe you so much personal information, and you owe me nothing. That is so interesting! [/quote]

Me reaching out to Evangelical Churches doesn’t impact you, whereas religious appropriation impacts me, for all the reasons that many have laid out in this thread. How I deal with offensive practices against my people is not something that impacts you. [/quote]

And I don't participate in Seders. But you continue to assert that the Book of Exodus and the themes of God's mercy should hold no meaning for me. Even though it does not have anything to do with you. You very much want to tell me what to think, do and believe. But I have no right to tell you what to think, do, or believe. Your feelings matter. Mine don't. I'm supposed to be sensitive to your offense, but my offense at being miscast and generalized is not something you are supposed to consider. [/quote]

We have said NOTHING about the Book of Exodus holding no meaning for you.

Celebrate it all you want, just not by appropriating the rabbinic Seder.[/quote]

And has been clearly stated across two threads now: THE VAST MAJORITY OF US DON'T.

So instead of generalizing and throwing spaghetti at the wall, maybe try contacting the churches that actually DO do this, and have some productive dialogue.[/quote]
