No one would find it unusual that a group practice was taoist, or muslim, or black, or 'family only', or jewish, or female or mormon. They have commonality of certain scenarios or training requirements or whatever. 'Christianity' covers a lot of ground. Lots of different ideas about violence (somewhere between the Amish and the Templars), they have a lot of different ideas about what constitutes a violation of the second commandment, they have a lot of different ideas about interacting with non-believers. They have an in-common memory of persecution and an in-common memory of mindless violence; lots to work out. So do many other sorts of practice groups. I'm a Christian; most of my confrere are Christian. But our group isn't 'Christian', it's a study group on an utterly different subject. Oh yes, and if a prospective or current member were to be offended by such religious practices as we may engage in, he should find another group.
