re: saying he can pray in his own way?

I don't think it's a matter of him wanting to pray in his own way. He wants to pray in the manner the Bible says he should pray. Christians are instructed by the Bible to pray in the name of Jesus. It's not like he wants to ingest some psychoactive drug and pray, he simply expects to be permitted to pray as his religious beliefs require.

I was less than satisfied with Sean's handling of the interview. Can't really put my finger on it, but he just seemed condescending for the lack of a better word.

I don't see how in the world the military can instruct a Christian chaplain not to mention Christ when in uniform.

I think I heard what you were hearing. I thought Sean was outrightly hostile at times. It was as if Sean may know something about this matter that we do not know.

Anyhow, I liked the bit of confrontational "grilling" by Sean.

I agree with the fact that a Christian Minister should be able to mention Christ in his services, but I still just keep getting the feeling that there is more to the story.

Maybe it's just me.

See my post #49.

There is more to the Chaplain than the Chaplain is telling.

I heard an interview with his commander a few weeks ago. The commander contradicted many of the claims the Chaplain said -- such as his being restricted in his praying, invoking the name of Christ, etc.

The Chaplain isn't telling the complete story.
