"When considering whether to include a
piata at a social gathering, Christians should be sensitive to the consciences
of others. (1 Corinthians 10:31-33) A
main concern is, not what the practice meant hundreds of years ago, but how it is viewed today in your area. Understandably, opinions may vary
from one place to another. Hence, it is wise to avoid turning such matters into big
issues."
