I wonder if I can resurrect this thread??

I'm wanting to start a homeschool group that meets in a local church but isn't religious necessarily. We'll have a mix of Christians and LDS folks who I truly believe can peacefully coexist and respect one another.

On the one hand, I'm passionately Christian and will share my faith anywhere with anyone and try to be tactful and respectful and not pushy about it, so in some ways I feel like even if my group isn't Christian, by my lifestyle and my love for other people, my faith will be made evident. But then I almost feel like I'm not being faithful by not making Jesus central to the group...I want to include my LDS friends for sure and not make them feel awkward about being there, but I also don't want to compromise on the Truth.

Is this making ANY sense??? We're in a very small, remote Western town so stuff like this matters....

THOUGHTS??

It makes perfect sense... and if you were in my area I'd be very interested in joining. I have searched high and low for an inclusive group, though I am Christian. IMO, you would not be betraying Jesus by forming a homeschooling group that centers around homeschooling.

Have to find the people first, though, unless you already know enough homeschoolers to organize events.
