→Christian witness: Examples of oral expression
Christian students and academics and professional persons concerned about the change in designation of the numbered years of the common western calendar when in the public forum at school or work can easily adapt the abbreviations BCE and CE to Christian reality by always understanding them as a Christian dating system. As occasion presents itself they are encouraged to say "Before the Christian Era" and "Christian Era" as a simple, incidental, non-confrontational [[Christian apologetics|witness]] when giving oral presentations relating to historical periods with dates that are the same as dates B.C. ''before Christ'' and dates A.D. ''anno domini'' (year of the Lord).

Examples:
:This article was written 2018 CE. "This article was written Twenty Eighteen of the Christian Era."
:"The [[Exodus]] occurred sometime around Sixteen Fifty before the Christian Era, though most researchers now commonly place it around Twelve Fifty."
:"The birth of [[Jesus Christ]] is now commonly placed by most historical researchers as Four before the Christian Era, but some disagree and place it as early as Twelve before the Christian Era and as late as One before, or as One of the Christian Era."
