ciphergothNurse suspended without pay for offering to pray for a patient during a home visit - what do you think?
(Snowed in today, trying to work from home but it's not really a workplace atmosphere around here today :-)
Updated: the patient is described as a Christian in the article. One wonders if this means Christian as in really a Christian, or "Christian I suppose" which AFAICT is the majority religion of the UK. Updated: actually "have Christian beliefs myself" is more like the phrasing I'd expect from someone who takes it seriously.

I don't think it's worth her losing her job over, though!
