Lately my youngest has expressed an interest in religion, which is fine. But I gotta say it’s a little weird when she brings home church info from a friend. I’ve talked to the Mom of this friend before and I think there’s a bit of (attempted) proselytizing in play. I don’t mind at all if my kiddo wants to go to church with a friend but it’s funny/weird to be in this position, being a recipient of “outreach” from the religion I grew up in.


Oof, proselytising! I suspect the culture here is a little different, but that would make me pretty uncomfortable. Wishing you well approaching this situation in a graceful way.

@jayeless thank you. I’m in the middle of the Bible Belt so church invitations aren’t unusual. I’ll have to wait and see (and talk to my daughter) if this is a one-off thing or if there’s more going on.
