Uncool! And this really isn't even a very difficult thing to accommodate with minor effort.
One example: One member of my congregation is married to a Muslim, who comes to some of our church activities. A year ago we had sausages for an Octoberfest party, and the congregation ensured there were non-pork options with him in mind (though others also preferred those). It was a very easy accommodation (grab a package of chicken sausage; cook in separate crockpot). And the different items on the table were labeled with the little tent cards. I appreciate little things like this because it says we are looking out for one another, exactly what a church family should be doing.
