[quote=Anonymous]PP here, quoting in part from that link.  Here are the closest situations to sort of give you an idea as to whether this was actually inappropriate or prohibited:

[quote](g) During lunch, certain employees gather on their own time for prayer and Bible study in an empty conference room that employees are generally free to use on a first-come, first-served basis. Such a gathering does not constitute religious harassment even if other employees with different views on how to pray might feel excluded or ask that the group be disbanded. [/quote]

and

[quote]
(a) At the conclusion of each weekly staff meeting and before anyone leaves the room, an employee leads a prayer in which nearly all employees participate. All employees are required to attend the weekly meeting. The supervisor neither explicitly recognizes the prayer as an official function nor explicitly states that no one need participate in the prayer. This course of conduct is not permitted unless under all the circumstances a reasonable observer would conclude that the prayer was not officially endorsed. [/quote]

Reading this, it really doesn't appear to be prohibited behavior since you weren't required to attend brunch and there's no reason to think from your post that the prayer was officially endorsed.  [/quote]
