Thanks Cynthia. I follow your thinking as I was raised and served for years in the culture of having "a zeal to share" one's insights into faith. But in the context of this exchange I am trying to reflect on OUR failures as Xtians, rather than commentating on the responses of folk who are not Xtians. We need to humble ourselves even if they choose to walk all over us. I think thats what Jesus intended, altho no doubt there are those who interpret his words differently.
