[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do not discuss converting with your brother's fiance. That's not your place.

Instead, be a good sister. Meet your brother & his fiance. Be genuinely happy for them. Offer the congratulations this occasion calls for. Go to the wedding. Celebrate with them. You can't control what your parents do, or how your brother navigates his marriage, but you can choose to be the one normal family member who has an appropriate reaction to a joyous occasion, in hopes that others will come around.

Obviously, people have different definitions about what is a joyous occasion. For some, a wedding is not joyous when a family member chooses to cut himself off from the family religion.[/quote]
But he's not necessarily cutting himself off from the family religion. He's not considering converting, is he? So he will still be Christian.

For example, I know a Jewish brother and sister who each married outside of their religion. They're both still Jewish, and attend/celebrate all Jewish holidays. Their spouses are still Christian. [/quote]
