Thanks for the reply.

It’s a Baptist church. It’s probably not that extreme, it just seems that way when I sneak peeks at the books - content makes me uncomfortable.
She’s just had depression, and I don’t want her to join this because of any vulnerability.

As much as anything else I think you for your “I’ve got a Christian wife, we are ok” comment. I think that’s what I wanted to hear. Do you ever/often talk religion? Do you go to her church?

Is it out of order and also patronising to say “be careful not to take everything to literally” and “make sure you are looking at stuff critically”.


I think I know the answer.

What do you mean "had depression"? Is it situational?

My wife and I have talked religion for years. So much so that we now tease each other about it, we're that comfortable with the subject. And no, I don't attend her church, she does not go that often any more, but I would attend if the occasion required it (from her point of view). 

Yeah, don't say "be careful". Start the dialogue more open with something like "what do you think about..............". I'm pretty sure that she knows what you think.
