Chaplains told to stop invoking Jesus at public events

Volunteer chaplains have been a big part of the police community in Charlotte for years at memorials and celebrations offering support.

But now, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department chaplains have been told that they cannot invoke the name of Jesus in prayers at public events.
“When I heard this I was sad," said Pastor Terry Sartain, who has been a chaplain with CMPD for seven years.

...then I guess I would not be a chaplain for the Charlotte-Meck PD.

Sad to hear about this right here in the Bible belt.

People can drop "F-Bombs", praise Allah, even blaspheme the name of God or say anything else you want but don't mention the name of Jesus in the public square...

Since when did the most precious name become so offensive?

I appreciate his comment of "I asked if I could withdraw, because Jesus is the only thing Ihave to bless people with,"

How very sad!
