[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why you invited them in the first place. 
But I would ditch this friendship.[/quote]
Because she said that her church has a seder, and she found it interesting. I thought she was indicating that she'd enjoy experiencing a Jewish, traditional Seder. (Of course, she was free to turn the invitation down.)[/quote]

Any Christian church that has a seder is an evangelical church committed to proselytizing, and may even be one of the churches that believes salvation will come when all Jews accept Jesus and/or move to Israel.

Be very wary of Christians who practice Jewish rituals (as opposed to being part of an interfaith network of Christians and Jews) -- they almost always are going to be part of churches that do active testimony and proselytizing.

You might want to post this in the Religion forum, where I suspect other people, including other Christians (I'm Jewish) will back me up.[/quote]
OP here, and thank you. I had NO IDEA that a Christian church that has a seder is an evangelical church. In fact, when my friend told me about it and I expressed surprise, she told me that it's become very popular for churches to have seders since Christianity is based on Judaism. It seemed reasonable - and sort of nice. Now I know better.

As far as posting this in the religion forum, I did consider it before I posted my OP. I decided to post here instead because the issue is really the relationship - my friend minimizing my feelings about her husband's blatant disrespect of Judaism, and whether to sever the relationship. [/quote]

OP- there are Christian churches that have Seders on Thursday of Holy week that are not evangelical.  The last Supper was a Seder, so for some Christians having Seder on Maudy Thursday during Holy Week is part and parcel of celebrating it.  [/quote]
OP here - thanks. I actually just posted that question in the Religion Forum. But what you say makes sense, and that's why I didn't think it anything too odd that my friend's church had a seder. In fact, I sorta thought it was nice - getting back to Jesus' roots and all that.[/quote]
