Christianity and Judaism are both “religions of the book” that promote worship of “one God.” But the similarities end there . . . or do they? The Jewish Passover Seder recalls God’s deliverance while simultaneously anticipating the Messiah, whose death and resurrection are celebrated by Christians at Easter. Exodus 12, Luke 22, and Isaiah 53 show the connection and implications to us today.

LAURA FELS, our speaker, was raised by a Jewish father and Protestant mother but as she entered the university, she rejected both religions as irrelevant to her life. Years later she embraced a faith that linked her Jewish and Protestant roots, and it changed her life. After fifteen years in corporate management, she has just celebrated 20 years with an international NGO.
