Responses to All Greek to Them

Dear Peter and Molly,
I wanted to write and respond to the letter you posted on January 10 from All Greek to Them, the man who was worried about using too much church lingo at work. I wanted to say that I really appreciated your advice, I was in a similar position at work with several other members. They followed the advice you gave to Greek, and would include me in their activities, including ones that were church related. Eventually I became curious, asked them about it, and joined the church. I know not all stories have a happy ending, but it's worth it for those couple that do. Thanks,
I Understand Now

Peter: Understand, thanks for writing in, I'm glad that it worked out so well for you. We had another reader who had a different perspective on the same letter.

Dear Peter and Molly,
Thank you for your response to All Greek to them. I work as a Human Resource Specialist at a large company, and while our employees should be able to feel comfortable with their own beliefs it's important that others feel comfortable not having them. As Latter day Saints we seem to be ingrained to believe that we're the outsiders but when that's not the case it's important that we recognize it, and respond accordingly. Many companies have policies that would punish employees for being any more explicit about their beliefs than Greek was being.
Sincerely,
HR Specialist

Molly: Thank you for that additional insight. In almost every case we should be able to follow our obligation to our employer and our missionary obligations as well. We appreciate everyone's support. If you feel like you have some good advice that we're missing, also don't hesitate to send us a letter or leave a note in the comments.
