amireallydoingthis: mealtime prayer with unbelievers

Wednesday, May 25, 2005

is the akwardness you impose on another person worth the "symbolism" of bowing your head for a mealtime prayer?

At 9:14 AM, middle aged blogger said...: Subtle head bowing is a wonderful way to proclaim your faith and thankfulness to friends around you. We don't wear signs that say "I'm a Christian" and ways that show that to others often help them to think about why and how you are different.

But it's like putting an ichthus on your car - it only works to others' and God's advantage if you are what you are proclaiming!
At 11:26 AM, Anonymous said...: No- I don't think its worth it. For me there's such a fine line with "witnessing" and just crossing the line and making things more awkward than they need to be. Depends on the day and the company for me whether or not I actually bow my head and do the whole routine (and a routine I believe it is). Probably didn't help you at all with this comment, but there are my thoughts!
Hope you're doing well. Please say hi to Eddie for me! A while back you mentioned getting some people together for a "mini reunion"-- I'd still LOVE to do that. Let me know!
