There are certainly occasions that it is appropriate to do so, but I believe if believers are equipped to LIVE authentically Christian it will not be required so much as has become the custom.
My administrative assistant and her husband were RC when she first came to work for us. After several months, on a Monday morning she came in bawling like a baby. I thought someone had died or hubby had left, no she says, "I don't know what you and your wife have, but I know it is God and I want Him so badly". Today, 28 years later, she her husband and their son are still serving the Lord that she found that day.
I just wish we could see that much more often, but I can tell you of several others that came the same way.
Our daily prayer is, "...Lord may we see where you are working today and join you in what you are doing...? "May I hear your voice today and understand what your are saying, that I may be usable in your purpose in my world today?"
