No need to get involved.

"""
The rising calls for an executive order are based on "confusion and misinformation," because Christian chaplains routinely pray in the name of Jesus, in public, thousands of times a week in military chapels around the world, said the Rev. Herman Keizer Jr., chairman of the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces.

"This has been portrayed as though chaplains are not allowed to pray in Jesus's name, without any distinction between what they do all the time in worship services and what they do occasionally, in ceremonial settings where attendance is mandatory," Keizer said."""

They already pray in Jesus name. No need to get Congressional approval.

And if Congress does this, the first thing which will happen is a lawsuit and courts will strike it down. Then, they won't be able to pray in Jesus name at all.

Sometimes it's best for Congress not to get involved in everything. Especially when it's not needed. As in this case.

The wnd article about Klingenschmidt has been called into question.

http://shamefulchaplain.blogspot.com...k-out.html?m=1

Judge threw out the lawsuit. He was attending a protest, not a service.

His story isn't true.

From the link above:

"""Gordon Klingenschmitt prayed while committing a Federal crime. The fact that he prayed during the commission of his crime does not alter the fact that he committed a crime. Gordon Klingenschmitt was convicted of the commission of a Federal crime--NOT FOR PRAYER!"""

And now you know......
.....the rest of the story.
