Lenten dissonance

While the Westminster First Baptist church is hosting a discussion about commonalities between the Jewish Passover and the Christian Last Supper, the Greendale People's Church is holding a roast pork Lenten dinner.
BTW, Christians have had a varied history regarding Lenten abstinence and fasting. While prohibitions against the eating of meat and related products during Lent were much more rigorously enforced in olden days, Christians were sometimes generous in their definitions of meat. For example, according to Giraldus Cambrensis, beaver tails were regarded as fish.
