The following was sent to me by Daniel Berleant, moderator of the Interrelationship Mailing List and the remaining founding member of this mailing list. I believe it raises an important issue not often found in discussions of intermarriage, namely, the perspective that the children of such intermarriages have on the issue. This perspective is often something that we guess at, perhaps less often something that we actually hear directly from them. This is content of the latest issue of the interrelationship mailing list. Both my Jewish cousins who have married, married Gentile men.
Some Christian weddings involve communion or mass.
However, that's from a rather trad version. It is possible to substitute philosophy and scripture from Torah which would be entirely acceptable and appropriate. As he was a devout and practicing Jew all his life I have no reason to doubt him. My cousins did not marry under the chuppah, but the bride's parents, in each case, said the appropriate prayers, and the groom in each case broke the glass under his heel, having learnt the appropriate responses in Hebrew and English. The effort they made also helped the 'in-laws' accept them.
