If the ACLJ is too conservative of a source for you all, how about the Washington Post?

A Noisy Takeoff for Air Force Guidelines on Religion

By Alan Cooperman

Monday, October 31, 2005; Page A20

...
The Air Force issued its three-page "Interim Guidelines Concerning Free Exercise of Religion in the Air Force" on Aug. 29 after allegations that evangelical Christian commanders, faculty and upperclassmen pressured cadets at the Air Force Academy.
...


The guidelines also say that "public prayer should not usually be included in official settings" such as staff meetings, classes and sports events, but that "a brief non-sectarian prayer" may be included in events of "special importance."

...

One of the main complaints from evangelical groups and members of Congress is that the guidelines could stop Christian chaplains from praying in the name of Jesus at public events.

So? I can say "In Jesus' name I pray, Amen." and He will hear me.

Ping for later bookmarking. I am continually amazed at how much ground is being lost while a United Methodist occupies the White House
