Reply #22: He asked to pray in the galley area so he would not "offend" anyone. [View All]

[Bridget Burke]

I'm no longer practicing, but had no problem crossing myself on the rare occasions when public prayers were offered in school. (Public school in the Bible Belt--many years ago. No, prayer was NOT a regular thing. But I was not ashamed to be "different.")

And I had no problem, flying into Guadalajara during a raging storm, when I noticed a lady with a Rosary. If my Spanish had been good enough, I might have asked whether she had a spare.

If someone tries to convert me, I won't respond favorably. But I don't get offended when other people express themselves.
