ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Another comment came in from an Army chaplain.
“The persecution centers on Christian chaplains praying in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,” he wrote. “My ‘Christian’ group leader was indignant and ridiculed me for praying in Jesus’ name and for suggesting that I would have an altar call during chapel services that I lead,” the chaplain, whose identity was withheld, wrote.
“Additionally, he said, it is offensive to pray in the name of Jesus and is against Army policy to do so.”
Jones also earlier rallied help for an Army chaplain who was serving in Iraq but was removed from his chapel for speaking to the media about the importance of the freedom to pray according to his faith tradition. The chaplain later was reinstated.
The issue of praying in Jesus’ name also has come up in the setting of public facilities in the United States.
But it is the case of Klingenschmitt that so far has raised the most serious questions about the military’s treatment of Christianity.
He was convicted by the Navy of failing to follow a lawful order because his superior didn’t want him praying “in Jesus name.” But when Congress got word of his $3,000 fine for his prayer, members ordered the Navy to remove the limitation and allow chaplains to pray as their “conscience dictates.””
