To bow or not to bow...

[cjcandie]

Ok, so here is a question for ya'll.... what do you do about saying grace when invited over for dinner to an unbeliever's/unbelieving couple's house? What if they know you are Christians? What if they look down on Christianity as narrow-minded and hypocritical? What if they are family in some way

So, my stance on it is this. Grace doesn't not need to be physically said. Whether or not you request that it be said comes down to how comfortable you are with asking others to accommodate your beliefs. If you choose to say grace silently, with your head bowed in silent prayer, you will still be giving thanks (IF that is how your prayers go) for the food. You also will be presenting the others at the table to deal with what you are doing without offending them outright. If they are offended by you practicing your beliefs without pushing it on them, that is THEIR problem, not YOURS.

The important thing is that you honor God.
