The text says "Nouvel An 5787" — in our church we count years from the creation of the world, not according to the Hebrew calendar. Is this an opportunity to talk about different calendars in the church?

Yes, Peter, we count the years from the creation of the world, but we often have to look at the Hebrew calendar for holidays. How was it in our church in Gornji Milanovac last year when we had visits from Jews?
