I stopped to talk to an old friend from High School, and her friend prayed for me. Had me say the words, and listen to her as she made proclamations.
By the end of it, I awkwardly thanked her for the "experience" and went my way. She was a young black woman, and by my estimation did not seem to use her religion as a license for hate. She and her friend were both very friendly.
But still, it was quite odd. Has anyone else had a similarly odd experience? Like, not a negative experience, but too awkward to describe as anything but...just a strange experience.
