In principle I have little to no problem with this, but….There is always a “but” with fraternizing with the born again crowd. I don’t see us playing for the same team, just driving parallel roads that in the end arrive at different destinations.
And in their view ultimately we Jews are not going to be welcome into their idea of olam ha-bah unless we renounce our Judaism. To me it is a slippery slope we are dancing upon and hard not to look at them through squinty eyes.
But, it is always good to have allies, even those whose interests may not always intersect with your own.
Depends whether they’re praying for anything else (e.g. the conversion of the Jews)….
Could this possibly be a fulfillment — or the begining of the fulfillment — of the prophesy, “Beiti Bet-Tefiloh yikarei l’chol ha-amim” (“My House will be called a House of Prayer for all peoples. — Isaiah 56:7)?
