It's becoming relatively common for Christian churches to observe a seder meal on Maundy Thursday, followed by Holy Communion. Since the gospels describe Jesus' last meal as held during Passover, these churches attempt to honor the occasion by teaching about Passover.  Some believe they are honoring Jesus' Jewish roots and seek out Jewish texts and rabbis for help in making the meal feel "authentic."

But Passover meals don't belong in the Christian Holy Week.

I've recently returned from co-leading a group of seminarians on a 17-day trip to the West Bank and Israel.  It was an intense experience, and I'll soon start blogging and uploading photos.

Does it matter what order you read psalms?  Would it matter if Psalm 22 were really Psalm 122 instead?
