Thank you, Chris. I was at a covered dish supper and court of honor this
evening and the grace was one the troop has used before. Considering that
the CO is a Catholic church it was not unusual that the grace mentioned
Jesus, and no one took offense. In fact, one Jewish Scouter in attendance
later told me that they'd finally been able to set the date and location for
the district Scout Shabat this year and asked if I'd be attending (I won't,
but it's because I'll be out-ot-state that weekend). It's as simple as, "No
offense intended, none taken."
