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).
