I wonder if I would review it differently now. Might be somewhat different.
Regarding the workplace, I just try to keep to myself and keep my ears closed when the gossip starts. Also, every great once in a while controversial topics get discussed, like homosexuality, and everyone throws their two cents in. Normally, I find that unless you have a couple hours to talk about such subjects you're going to get misunderstood, or "boxed". If you the summary of Orthodox thought on, for one example, homosexuality, it's gonna get thrown into the "bigoted/archaic" box, or the "faithful, pious person" box (depending on the listener). It's hard to explain the complexities of situations when many different people are all vying for everyone elses attention (one of the key practical problems of the Ecumenical movement! How can you have 20 different people, who all believe to one degree or another different things, and come to a mutual understanding?) So... when things come up I normally just keep my mouth shut, even when I know that something that someone is saying is wrong (e.g., if they are misquoting a Bible verse). Our actions (like meekness and humility) will win more souls than workplace debates, IMO. Now, if only I could get some meekness and humility!
