What do you think about a Christian church lighting a Chanukah menorah?

A friend just told me the large Lutheran church where I live is lighting a Chanukah menorah this year. I think it’s to show support for Israel and the Jewish people. That’s what I’m guessing, I don’t think they do it every year.
I am not asking about religions that always do Jewish and Christian celebrations or groups like Jews for Jesus. I’m asking about mainstream Christian churches lighting a menorah at the church.
I know there is a movement this year that is asking all people to put a menorah in their window to show support against antisemitism. It’s similar to what Billings, Montana did many years ago when there was some antisemitic violence there.
Is it in anyway cultural appropriation? Is there any negative side to it?
