[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on what type of faith she has.  If she is an Evangelical Christian (several denominations fall into this category.), an important practice of her faith could be to speak about Jesus, the Bible, and spread that message to as many people as she can.  If that is the case, it will be difficult for her to refrain from religious speak.  Also if that's the case, she will see your family as people who need to be "saved."  
IF that's the case.

In the other hand, I describe myself as a very religious Catholic.  I like a saying  by St. Francis, "preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary use words."  I often think about God through my day, and my faith steers many of my actions.  But I don't feel I need to be speaking about Jesus in order to be living my faith, especially at work.

I hope you come back, OP, and let us know how this turns out.  Interesting discussion.[/quote]
  
  As someone who would fall under your "Evangelical" umbrella, I do not fully agree with your statement. Yes, while I believe all people should be saved, I know not everyone wants to be and I know it is not appropriate to talk about my faith at work. I also believe one's actions speak louder than words. Faith should be lived out in actions, not empty words. [/quote]
