The article isn’t so much ‘in your face’ as is the group headed by one person mentioned therein.
“The Rev Brian Allenby, national director of Christians at Work which promotes Christianity in the workplace, says displaying the cross is an important part of some Christians’ faith.” http://www.christiansatwork.org/ Christians at work. There exist UK associated sites and others. Another person quoted at clog’s original site: “David Cannings, chairman of Christians in Politics, which encourages people in public office to make their faith part of their work, said religious imagery was becoming marginalised.” I contemplate this stuff quite a bit. While on the surface, I don’t want others to ‘falunt’ their theology at least not in an evangelical way towards me, I’m not sure that wearing a piece of jewelry falls in this category. I do know that I don’t like the gratuitous cards placed on the food trays on one of the airlines, Hawaiian I believe. They are embossed with christian words of the day. I didn’t purchase a ticket for this. On the other hand, for atheists and/or evolutionists, would being asked to remove one of the Darwin pins or necklaces be similar? How does the notion of universality enter into this? I wear a couple of symbols on a chain around my neck that some would call occult. I don’t mind keeping them in my shirt, but would feel a little imposed upon if asked to be sure to do so or remove them. What about flag pins? Not only is it against code to wear the flag, (of the US) but it appears to be a form of fanatical nationalism. Should this be stopped? It all seems to be cyclical and subjective. At least until the ultimate water boarding found in Salem of yore returns.
