646 Questions

Do you tip Mormon missionary for service work?

No. Mormons missionaries are full-time volunteers who are not paid, are not given a living stipend, but pay their own way entirely. In fact, Mormons consider it somewhat of a conflict of interest to have any paid clergy. As such, neither the missionaries nor the local Bishop nor anyone in the 14M-member hierarchy receives any money for what they do.

In addition, Mormon missionaries are typically not allowed to accept cash gifts, so even if you tried to tip them they wouldn't accept. They can, however, accept gifts of food. If you feel you have to tip them, provide lunch or invite them for dinner.

Can you ask the Mormon missionaries to take off shoes?

Of course! If you invite the missionaries into your home, you may ask them to take off their shoes. Many people do not allow shoes in their homes, so this is something that missionaries are asked to do quite often.

A missionary's purpose is to go into the world with the "mission" of sharing their faith and persuading others to join them in their faith.

Why does Egypt hate christians?

Answer
There is no reason to believe that Egyptians or the Egyptian governernment hates Christians. Egypt has a large and thriving Christian community, with the largest denomination of Christians being the Coptic Church. Sharia law, as applied in Egypt, requires that a Muslim can not renounce his or her faith. However, the Egyptian government recently enacted a law that says this requirement does not apply to former Christians who have converted to Islam - they can freely return to Christianity if they wish. This example demonstrates tolerance for and acceptance of the Egyptian Christian community.


Notice that those born into Islam are not permitted to become Christians. This parallels medieval European attitudes, but is not evidence of any hatred of Christians.


AnswerIn practise, those who convert from Islam to Christianity or religious freedom advocates are despised and mistreated because they are seen as apostate and in contradiction of the ruling Shari'a law. The freedom to practice religious rites has been determined by the court to be 'subject to limits, especially the maintenance of public order, public morals, and conformity to the provisions and principles of Islam, which forbid Muslims to convert. The Court stated that "public order" is defined as the official religion being Islam, that most of the population professes Islam, and that Islamic law is the primary source of legislation.' [ US State Dept. International Religious Freedom Report 2008]. Thus, Christianity and other religions, do not always fit into these parameters, and some are hated because of this.
