Navy dismisses chaplain who prayed 'in Jesus' name'
"We are homeless, jobless, and we are in God's hands," says Klingenschmitt. A U.S. Navy chaplain who prayed "in Jesus' name" as his conscience dictated is being ejected from the military service "in retaliation" for his victorious battle to change Navy policy that required religious rites be "non-sectarian." "This fight cost me everything. My career is over, my family is now homeless, we've lost a million dollar pension, but Congress agreed with me and rescinded the Navy policy, so chaplains are free again to pray in Jesus' name," Chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt told WorldNetDaily. "My sacrifice purchased their freedom. My conscience is clear, the fight was worth it, and I'd do it all again" . . .[Click for more] Tags:chaplain, church, free speech, Gordon Klingenschmitt, military, religous freedom

Praise be to God, in Jesus name.
