are interfaith religious services feasible?

[cellio]

The latest issue of Moment reproduces part of a catalogue page listing "communion wafers (kosher)". It makes me wonder who the target market is, but sadly, that information is absent.
But that's not what I'm here to write about...
My rabbi does a lot of interfaith work locally, mostly

OK, trying to find shared elements:

Good suggestions. Thanks!

She didn't say what frequency they're aiming for (I suspect they don't know yet), though I got a vague impression of "monthly". That's infrequent enough that they could probably assemble several themed services like you suggested, but it's still regular. On the other hand, I would worry about maintaining momentum, especially in the beginning, with something that infrequent.

If this is actually getting traction, I'd get on board with the idea of pulling it away from generic "worship light" and toward ongoing discussion and education once there are stakeholders other than the organizer who can be lobbied.

Good point. I don't even know how many people she's got coming to this, so there are a lot of unknowns right now. I think the community could really benefit from a more education-oriented plan, but would probably say "ho hum" to "worship light", as you put it. So I'll try to nudge things in this direction.

On the other hand, if she's got a lot of noble ideas and no execution potential, that will probably be pretty clear in the first meeting too.

Yup. I've gotten fairly decent at spotting those. :-)
