The booklet used contained the Jewish ceremony, complete (but there might have been something left out here and there, and if there was it was talked about).

I think learning about what we have in common, and what we believe differently about, is important.<BR/><BR/>A more narrow objection that does hold some weight with me is the superimposition of later Christian theology on a Seder, at least unless it's made very explicit that this is not the way Jews see that part of the David in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254984194783456496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6225497223064034604.post-46952712682858125942007-03-22T20:58:00.000-04:002007-03-22T20:58:00.000-04:00DiDC: I've gone to several such Christian seders. ...DiDC: I've gone to several such Christian seders. At the start, great care was made to make sure the food elements were authentic and traditional. That part went downhill from there, people kept complaining and one by one they were nixed. (Lamb? No! Salt water? No? Moror? No! It's too BITTER!) Eventually, the food became beef-and-potato stew!!! We stopped going after that.
