I was at a beginners meeting last night and when the lead asked for a topic a lady wanted to know if one was expected to say the Lords prayer? She expounded upon this by saying that someone at another meeting asked her why she did not say the Lords prayer with every one else, she told them that she did not say it because she was a Buddist and was not comfortable saying it, they replied back that she will never be able to stay sober being a Buddist and not saying the Lords prayer!

I was shocked that someone would say this, but I know that the program is in the first 164 pages and not what comes out of some AA members mouth, that was a small part of my share on this matter. After the meeting she came up and thanked me for my share, I told her that if anyone ever comes up with something like this to her again tell them to start reading the BB at the top of page 47 and aks them if what they said was program or their opinion?

Any thoughts/shares on this topic?
