[quote=Anonymous]OP here:

First, I'm not a troll.  I promise you this absolutely did happen in DC, Fed. gov. office, less than a month ago, non-military office.  There was no indication prior to everyone meeting in the conference room (around 10:00 in the morning) that there was going to be a brunch or that there was going to be a prayer time.  EVERYONE in the division was there.  I was just going with the flow as it appeared I was expected to.  In fact, I really didn't want anything to eat (having already had breakfast), but I felt obligated to make a gracious showing of interest so as not to offend.

As for the food -- I mean it was "catered" as home catering is done.  Biscuits, scrambled eggs, some sort of meat that was grilled I think, fruit, spaghetti with some kind of asian sauce, bacon, I can't remember if there was gravy.  I was like, "who brought all this food?!" and that's when someone said "XX makes it.  She caters from her house."  I wasn't asked for $$ as it was my second day, but I'm assuming that the employees pay for it, not the gov.  The decision to have this monthly "fellowship" and to have it "catered" by one of the workers must have come from the supervisor.  The supervisor made opening remarks and handed it over to the co-worker to lead us all in prayer.

I did not want to object to what the rest of the group apparently finds enjoyable.  Bad enough that I kind of stick out by my light skin and different background, but to complain about their tradition seems like the kiss of death.

I hope I answered all of the questions that were posed. [/quote]
