Inter-faith Relationships

[BruceDLimber]

Hi!

My wife and I are both Baha'is.

While he was growing up, our son attended Baha'i school, where he was taught about all the great religion and their legitimacy!

And when he eventually came of age, he, too, decided to become a Baha'i.

(Bahai parents must see that their children are trained about all the great religions, and may not interere in a child's choice of what <if anything> to become.)

Works well for us!

Did you read/hear about the Israeli that married a Palestinian? They can live in either part of the country. It sounds like Romeo and Juliet. They are moving to Europe so they can have a normal life, but she is able to leave and so far he can't.

Sad sad.

Our family was catholic, then we became non-catholic Christians. My Mother, Father, 2 Brothers and 2 sisters all became Christians. One older brother who has some doubts about what he believes, is married to a Jewish woman, and one sister is married to an Arab. Makes for interesting get-togethers, but we all get along quite nicely despite our different beliefs. My sisters children all say when they turn 18 they are going to grandmother's house (my Mom) and are going to be Christian. I hope they do! We all love and care for each other deeply, although we live all over the U.S., so even though we know somewhat what each other believes, and have discussed it some, we pretty much leave it alone, unless an opportunity presents itself.

So Catholics aren't Christian?

No, I can't find it. I keep getting stuff about marriage laws in Israel (they don't allow this). I'm wondering how they could have possibly gotten together.

Marriages between Jews and non-Jews in Israel are illegal, but they are also common. Couples generally fly to Cyprus for a marriage, which Israeli law is then required to recognize upon their return.
