The Chelsea Clinton wedding: The religion factor

News of Chelsea Clinton’s upcoming nuptials in upstate New York is everywhere.   

Here’s something to think about: Clinton, daughter of  U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, is a Christian, while her fiance Marc Mezvinsky is Jewish.

The Washington Post’s religion blog On Faith recently included postings on the issue of interfaith marriage. The blog’s diverse group of panelists answered the question “Should religions intermarry?”

Who cares. All religion is false.

Carla–

I attended an interfaith marriage between a Jewish bride and a Christian groom almost 25 years ago. I don’t know if you were aware, but Rabbi Packman was one of the few Rabbis in this region who would perform interfaith marriages. It was a quite lovely ceremony and paid tribute to both faiths, as well as the complementary traits of the bride and groom.
