Inside or outside the circle?

In the November 2015 Grapevine, I read "Outside The Circle." The subject of debate about the use of the Lord's Prayer in meetings is loaded with controversy. This topic reminds me that it is pivotal to my sobriety to be careful about how I express my opinions about common practices in AA. In my experience, standing outside of the circle during the Lord's Prayer is damaging to the newcomer, who might even already feel uncomfortable about saying a prayer and holding a "stranger’s" hand.
