Welcome

Many christians make public displays of tradition (prayer etc.) as a means of bolstering their own weakening faith. Oftentimes, overtly demonstrative behaviors reflect some form of insecurity. I'm not saying that's the case for your situation, but it may be worth considering in making your decision on how to best handle the matter moving forward. Wink
