"In Jesus Name" is a STANDARD closure to any Christian prayer and has nothing to do with "emphasizing differences". Do you comprehend the meaning of the word "difference."

If you are my guest, say, and I make a small toast, and say: "In the name of proletarians and communist of the wordl, let's drink to the future" --- you would be appalled. You would say, "Don't take me in your company; believe in whatever you want but don't take me in your company." I would reply, "That is the standard toast at communist meetings and has nothing to do with differences."

You would call my argument stupid. And you would be right.

Yes, do you understand the meaning of STANDARD closure? If you don't want a Christian Cleric to give the prayer because it may offend your tender sensitivities, don't ask. This is not complicated.
