Did my gift offend my aunt?
I just returned from South America and my first stop was to visit my family in PA. I’m staying with an aunt for a few days while we celebrate my grandma’s 95th birthday.
One of the gifts I brought my aunt was a gorgeous handcrafted cross painted in bright colors from Ecuador. She and her husband are ministers at a rural Assemblies of God mega church and I’m an atheist. Regardless I thought she would like it so I gave it to her.
She didn’t seem to excited to receive it and then I noticed that there aren’t any crosses displayed in the house. Did I make a mistake? Can anyone familiar with AoG practices or Pentecostalism in general fill me in? Like I said I’m an atheist and the only Christianity I’ve been exposed to is Catholicism.
