Passover Seder plate and Haggadah on traditionally set table with several side dishes
The Church of England apologised for a booklet that it published featuring prayers for the Thursday before Easter and recommendations to perform customs observed by Jews on Passover.
The booklet of prayers ahead of Maudy Thursday is “not intended to be a Christianised seder,” Richard Sudworth, the Church’s national interreligious affairs adviser, said in a statement, according to a report Thursday by the JC. “We do not wish to encourage an impression that was not intended by the resource and apologise for any offence caused.”
The Church pulled the booklet offline and trashed a video it had intended to release ahead of Maudy Thursday, the report said.
