[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1466719, member: 423"] As a Christian, if I were an officer, and my schedule allowed, I would go. Just as now, as an engineer, if a local Mosque held an engineering appreciation lunch, I would go if I could. I personally disagree with their religion, but being non Catholic, I disagree with some of the Catholic faith too, likewise Baptist, Presbyterian, and others. Doesn't mean I won't ever be around them. Another point, is that I personally believe the building is just that: a building. The religion is the people that believe in it, not the building. Thus going to an event at the building is just that, an event at the building. I would think that a very defensible position for the brass to have held would be something along the lines of "while you are not required to go, you are encouraged to if possible." I think courtesy, regardless of religion, would say that when eating another man's food at that man's house, is not the the time to condemn that man; but rather take the opportunity to learn about them.
