I and my family sought out a place where Christians and Jews express their faith cooperatively, which seems to me a good idea."

this is part of his apology. what does it mean, cooperatively? they can buy toilet paper in bulk? There is nothing on the websites that points to real interaction.

From the Bradley Hill Pres website:
"In addition to sharing physical space the two congregations have shared: Pulpit exchanges between the pastor and rabbi Sponsorship of social actions Musical programs featuring members of both congregations Annual joint Thanksgiving Service."

lots of single congregations have "exchanges." that doesn't show anything. You/he seem to imply the "joint" worship means something about his charecter, and how he feels about Jewish people. FWIW, the time share aspect may be nothing more than his congegation is as cheap as his word imply he feels the Jews are. Oh, and Thanksgiving would be hard to time share and easy to do as non-denominational. You got to get the bodies in and out on Thanksgiving, and home in time for football. If you were going to share space, this'd be a compromise you'd have to make.
edit: FWIW not FYI
