Pt. 2::Pentagon to Join in 'One Voice United in Prayer' (On Separate Days in Separate Locations, Depending on Your Religion) | Chris Rodda

As the preceding article (Pt. 1) mentions, Chris Rodda did a piece concerning the two issues MRFF has concerning the National Day of Prayer. 

Now, the organization that I work for, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), is not trying to completely abolish the National Day of Prayer -- not because we approve of it, but simply because the issue of the existence of this infelicitous day just doesn't fall within the purview of our organization's mission. What does fall within our purview, however, are any violations of military regulations or any religious discrimination against members of the military that occur because of the National Day of Prayer. And this year we have two such within-our-purview situations happening.

The first of the two is one that we are taking direct action to stop -- the planned appearance of uniformed military personnel at Shirley Dobson's big shindig at the Cannon House Office Building.

And then, of course, there's also that pesky religious discrimination issue.

NDP Task Force event coordinators have been required to subscribe to the following statement, agreeing to restrict any participation beyond simply attending an event exclusively to Christians: "I commit that NDP activities I serve with will be conducted solely by Christians while those with differing beliefs are welcome to attend."
