Know what? That the vast majority of rituals have Christian origins? I didn't think that was any sort of secret.

Yeah, but to jump from the knowledge that many orgs have Christian basis to "I think that a lot of rituals are outdated, in that they are too religious for the increasing diversity of their orgs" implies that you know what specifically is contained in other org's rituals. Being based on religion and being too religious are two very different things.

Okay, let me put it a different way...if your ritual is based in Christian scripture, it probably makes non-Christians in your org uncomfortable, to varying degrees. I don't consider it a positive thing, then, having a week dedicated to reflecting on ritual. Instead, as I explain better above, I think it would be more productive to reflect on the core values of the org, or the NPC core values, or whatever else.
