If your a Buddhist, Jew or Muslim and feel left out, then I suggest you network with others with your spiritual beliefs to set up your prayer breakfast for next years convention.<BR/><BR/>Maybe NRN isn't so interested in exclusively promoting Christianity, but spirituality in the workplace...whatever the religion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16651567.post-1147731857305881822006-05-15T17:24:00.000-05:002006-05-15T17:24:00.000-05:00I am distressed to hear that a group with this age...I am distressed to hear that a group with this agenda is allowed to use the NRA as a platform. <BR/><BR/>Allowing the Hospitality Industry Ministries, Inc., with a goal of instilling prayer into industry events and leading people in the hospitality community into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ by creating business environments where God can be discovered” is an affront to ALL non-christians. <BR/><BR/>So much for the NRA promoting their involvement in the MFHA! NRA materials point out the number of Asians, American Indians, and others - not to mention the large numbers of Budists, Jews and Muslims in the industry that do not embrace the ministries mission.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16651567.post-1147724252439599162006-05-15T15:17:00.000-05:002006-05-15T15:17:00.000-05:00Our country's heritage is full of examples of reli...Our country's heritage is full of examples of religion being practiced in the public square, to say otherwise would be a denial of history. Those who want no part of God have as their mission the expungement of religion from public view. Is that the case here? The NRA show exists in large part because organizations participate and provide support hoping others will see value in what they have to offer. So too the case here. Every attendee chooses what parts of the program they will or will not attend. I doubt if I decide to get up and attend this prayer breakfast rather than sleep in I won't be offending anyone except those who would like to stop me from being able to have that choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16651567.post-1147720059643806362006-05-15T14:07:00.000-05:002006-05-15T14:07:00.000-05:00Our country was founded upon christian principles....Our country was founded upon christian principles. Our government's purpose was to establish a place to live where people could worship God....have we really come so far that a prayer meeting is seen as a threat to others?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
