My small Lutheran church on the Mississippi Gulf Coast used to rent their sanctuary to a small Jewish congregation so that they could worship. They just covered up the Christian objects in the sanctuary during their worship.

Never thought anything about it. We thought it was a good use of our facility.

What is wrong with people. I have known several Pastors who have worked closely with Rabbis over the years.Sometimes they are even close friends.

My church was not the more liberal ALC (which eventually merged with the LCA), but the more conservative Missouri Synod.
