New Interfaith Program
Looking For Families
AMY J. MEHLER
Staff Writer
W
endy Sadler has
much in common
with her future
Sunday school classes: both
are members of interfaith
families; both want to bridge
the gap between Judaism
and Christianity.
Mrs. Sadler, whose hus-
band is not Jewish, will
teach children of unaf-
filiated, interfaith families
in the new community wide
Sunday school program,
Stepping Stones to a Jewish
Me.
The curriculum, to be
taught in 25 sessions over
the next two years, will be
presented by Conservative
and Reform rabbis of
metropolitan Detroit. The
course provides knowledge
about Judaism so that chil-
dren and their parents may
participate in its customs
and traditions.
