'The question is why is the military having meetings' with atheist activist
In light of the confusing statements recently by the U.S. military about whether Christians will be prosecuted for sharing their faith, the chief of a chaplains organization says the real question is different.
"The question is why is the military having meetings with [anti-Christian activist Mikey Weinstein] and how is it he appears to have easy access to individuals such as [former Ambassador Joe] Wilson."
That's from Brig. Gen. Doug Lee, now chairman of the executive committee for the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
WND has reported how the Pentagon's recent vow to punish Christian evangelism among military members, along with Weinstein's assertion that such behavior is treasonous, has prompted a legal team to offer to defend any member of the armed services persecuted for expressions of faith.
The Liberty Institute has announced the launch of its Armed Forces Religious Liberty hotline – (972) 941-4543 – along with a petition to support Christian members of the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force.
"The Pentagon released an appalling official statement that I didn't believe at first, but unfortunately it's true," said Kelly Shackelford, president and CEO of the organization. "They are about to implement a new policy under which any members of the military 'caught' talking about their Christian faith will be subject to court martial or imprisonment!"
Shackelford said his group is establishing the emergency hotline "to protect our armed forces members, who can call and get free legal representation when they are persecuted for their Christian faith."
