[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our policy.  The person who wants grace can ask those assembled if anyone minds a pause for giving grace.  If so, then that person can lead the prayer.  If someone says they prefer not, then the meal continues and the person can say a quiet personal grace before eating.  I have had both situations and the person who wants grace, can does not have to do it publicly.  Grace is a personal choice and should not be imposed on everyone if they aren't comfortable. [/quote]

What about Muslim, Buddhist, or Hindu friends? Do you make them ask permission from everyone else present to pray according to their religious beliefs before eating?

I don’t. They don’t have to get permission from other people to practice their religion in my presence.

Why does someone else practicing their religion make you uncomfortable,

Do Muslims and Buddhists and Christians have cooties, and you are afraid of cooties cross over during a 30 second prayer of thanksgiving?[/quote]

You think someone should just break into prayer without a tiny prelude?

I don’t really care but I have family that do not want to hold hands and I think that should be respected.

I don’t control everyone but if your going to pray or do a toast usually something is said like… I’d like to propose a toast, or if you  I will lead be leading a short blessing.

But also I’m not the atheist police if someone starts in their salad during it so what.[/quote]
