[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, I can relate to your situation.  I think you need to do what will make you comfortable in the workplace.  I think it is unfortunate that your boss and the people you work for didn't explain or preface the brunch with anything before you were somewhat blindsided by it.  It has been about a month, is the next one coming up?  Has your view on things changed at all in the past month regarding your ability to simply pass on the prayer or the brunch entirely?  I think the way it was done was not right.  They absolutely should have told you about it in advance and made sure you understood that it was a purely optional event.  My office has done things like this (without the prayer) and if someone doesn't want to participate, it's no big deal..they're free to take the time to do something else.  That was always made very clear.  As for the prayer, it's not illegal but it can certainly create an uncomfortable situation if it's not done sensitively.  I think more care should have been given to the fact that you were an outsider who wasn't familiar with the office culture.  Maybe you've made a friend or two in the meantime you can talk to about it.  If it's even more uncomfortable for you this next time around (either because they try to make you participate or you feel like people are bullying you because you don't) then I would report it.  But, for now, you have to think about what you want in the end.  [/quote]
