The pastor was well within his right to refuse to compromise on the prayer. They invited him (AND his belief system) to pray, knowing who he prays TO. It is ridiculous for these people to condone prayers to "Allah", "Baboo" or any other god in their chambers.....but not Jesus Christ.

I see alot of flaming on this pastor here.....but I gotta say that our nation is in the trouble it is because of compromised values and integrity. Enough of the PC junk! I wouldn't pray either if I couldn't ask the prayer in my Lord's name.....because it would be of no effect..... nothing but empty words and a waste of my time and energy.

John 16

23In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

Agreed. Any Christian minister who would compromise his prayer regarding Christ has no conviction. As farmer18 quoted in another post, "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." -- Matthew 10:33
