This wasn't appropriate. It is not necessary to pray a "Christian-specific" prayer in an ecumenical setting.
This is entirely the clergyman's fault and he owes an apology.

..this is entirely the clergyman's fault and he owes an apology....You're losing it, Illbay.
Your post (and much of your recent threads) tests positive to the need-to-offend syndrome, which starts with pointlessly upsetting fellow Freepers and rapidly progresses to arguments becoming more than 90% of your FR discourse. No prizes for guessing where it ends up. I recommend a six-week break from Freeping, and plenty of sunshine, exercise and fresh air.
That worked, for me. :)

Rev. Hughes did nothing wrong, and no apology is necessary.
Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith. To invoke his name at the end of a prayer is not only traditional among Evangelicals but also demonstrative of the Christian's belief in Jesus' holiness and sovereignty.

What I would like to know is whether the Jews are religious or not, or whether they are stalking horses for the ACLU.

I have a feeling you'd defend a Muslim's right to say "Mohammed" and "Allah". Of course that's just an educated guess based on our many online encounters.
