Can you work personally work within a religious group without being of that religion yourself? Give an example

Im pagan, my boyfriend is methodist (strange i know) anyway i go to church with him every sunday. I read bible stories to the little kids during the service. they all know im pagan, they are ok with it. i dont push my religion on them, they dont push it on me.

Yes, I worked in a Catholic nursing home where Catholic prayers and rites were performed all the time. But I did not participate, as I am Jewish.

When the priest came around to pop that little wafer in the mouths of the residents, I had to take a step back (if possible, if I wasn't holding someone up to help them take it), and fold my hands together so the priest would know I'm not Catholic.

Most of the nurses and almost all of the residents there and their families were Catholic. I never had any problem with them - Catholics don't try to convert Jews anymore. In fact, they are interested in Judaism to a degree that surprised me more than once.

I would not recommend that any Jewish person go and work within a Christian environment though, particularly a Protestant organizaion, because of the attempts to convert us,. Protestants, mostly Baptists, have spent over 1 BILLION dollars in the past decade to specifically target Jews for conversion.

So if a Jewish person is looking at finding employment in a Christian organization, they shouldn't unless they first have a solid background in the differing foundations of each religion, and especially when it concerns the area of the Messiah, such as how he is born, what he does, how he does it, how he doesn't die in Judaism, what prophecies he is to fulfill, etc. That's because the concepts are completely different in Judaism than they are in Christianity.

Yes. I have played the piano for the services of a Methodist Church and was part of an instrumental trio that provided Christmas "dinner music" at the Salvation Army "soup kitchen" one year. If the religious group is working for the good of humanity, I could support it wholeheartedly. For example, I admire what the Salvation Army does in it's humanitarian work, or St. Vincent de Paul.....I'd have no problem volunteering for something like that, and as far as I know, they welcome any volunteers.

St. Vincent d'Paul Thrift Shops and Food Banks (community service) without being a Catholic. Liberation of Iraqis without being a Muslim (Shite or Sunni). Tour guide operators of religious tours in primarily Jewish Israel and Palestine. I once knew a Lutheran professor who taught at a Catholic college.

particular. i could be keen to donate my time to a non secular employer to do nutrition drives or amassing clothing for orphans, supporting disaster victims or despite the fact that application like that replaced into obtainable in my section (assuming the gang did not attempt to tension me to evangelize). easily I helped out a church at my college by ability of going out on extremely warm days handy out unfastened water to those that have been having to stroll throughout the time of campus. i don't pass spouting off approximately how god does not exist in the form of element, and the gang can not make me sound off to human beings.

That's an interesting question. I think you could... I mean I've helped church groups before, though I'm pagan. I've made cookies for bake sales, donated clothes, performed for a benefit concert organized by a church...

Sure. If you're of a religion, the doors to a differant religion are always open because they want you to convert.

Yes, you can. Any way its up to you weather you want to be commited to the religion.

I work around christians all day long

Over 70% of those work for Catholic Charities are not Catholics.
