How each group chooses it's format is a matter for that
specific group as voted in their GC.
My home group does close with the Lords Prayer
and yes...says ..."For those who would..
please join our circle we'll close with the Lords Prayer.
I have been next to members who did not
say the words but stood quietly
I've seen members continue to sit or leave
This has been true in all 3 of my home groups
D.C. Fl. and Ga.
I'm not aware of any comments on their choice
to not participate.
...I guess we're back to the never ending
discussion...is AA religious or spiritual.
By the time I started AA...I did not know or care
what they used to help me get and stay sober.
Last week...Mary...sober 34 years shared
"I'd have painted my butt red and run down the
street naked if thats what I had to do to quit"
I totally agree...
