[quote=Anonymous]Tonight we hosted dinner for a dozen people at our house. We do not say grace at our house but my husband and I usually will offer some sort of toast and/or welcome when everyone is seated. So I sat down at the table and before I could say anything, my FIL says that he'd like to say grace, and asks everyone to hold hands and he says grace. When I am at someone else's house, I respect their religious preferences. I was slightly offended on two levels -- I felt like he should have asked us first, and, beside that, it was my place or my husband's to offer the grace. Also, half of our guests were Jewish, and while I recognize that they knew they were sharing in a Christmas celebration, I would have preferred a rather, well, less Christian and more general grace. In any event, am I wrong to be annoyed? Should our elders be able to take over at our house? [/quote]
