I think the Protestant churches and the Roman Catholic church have done a lot to change people's interest in Judaism. They're hearing from churches that it's a way to enhance their own faith.

Judaism is everything ? it's emotional, intellectual, metaphysical. Here I was looking for all these things and it was in my own backyard.

Christianity is completed Judaism, or it is nothing

A religion such as Judaism or Catholicism might survive even if it comes to reject a literal account of God creating man and animals. But it cannot survive the rejection of an immaterial soul.

We decided to see what interest there is in a new church geared toward contemporary, informal (setting), at the same time, with the same message.

When the church has a position, it tends to be categorical. Lawmakers want their interest groups to take half a loaf and the church isn't eager to bargain. They want it their way.
