Air Force Academy Creates ‘Worship Space’ for 'Earth-Centered Community’

Air Force Academy Creates ‘Worship Space’ for 'Earth-Centered Community’ Friday, June 17, 2011 By Patrick Ryan

(CNSNews.com) - The United States Air Force Academy has created a “worship space” on campus for the “Earth-Centered Community,” which, according to the Air Force, includes among other denominations the Wiccans, Druids, Heathens and Pagans.

Col. Robert Bruno, chaplain at the Air Force Academy, told CNSNews.com that the academy created the space in response to a request from a few service members and cadets who belong to the Earth-Centered Community.

“In the Summer of 2009, a small group of Earth Centered Airmen and cadets requested the support of the Chaplain Corps at USAFA to accommodate their religious requirements,” Bruno said in an e-mail to CNSNews.com.

"Our constitutional options are to either directly provide that support or facilitate it,” said Bruno. “Since none of the chaplains represents any of the Earth Centered traditions, direct support was not an option. Therefore, we facilitated it through an outside endorsing agency whose staff are subject matter experts in Earth Centered traditions.”

“Earth-Centered” includes “Wiccan, Druid, Heathen, Pagan, and Native Americans to name just a few,” he said, adding that: “They represent a tiny fraction of the demography of USAFA, the AF, the DOD and America.”

"They are peaceful people who get along with their neighbors."

Except for their history of spiking trees, burning down animal testing laboratories and fire-bombing auto dealships all in the name of environmental extremism.

This NEW AGE chit has been infiltrating the academies for over 20 years. This is simply the final step in destroying the US military. The officer corps will soon be little more than thousands of mini-Ernst Rohms for some present or future American furher,

I’m not sure about the USAF Academy, but in a lot of training environments, trainees are (or at least used to be) given the option of attending worship services or buffing floors. Needless to say, a lot of folks ended up going to church. This sounds like a way (at least on the part of a few) to get around option A or B. Bet there’s a lot of napping or hackey-sack being played at these earth worship services.
