Praying nurses

[ciphergoth]

Nurse 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.

(Just been reading more reports: blimey, there seems to be a range of accounts here. Was the previous 'in October' or 1985?! (October 1999?) Coming round to thinking employer's action was probably reasonable, but the diversity in the reports worries me that we're not getting a full picture. Though my strong suspicions are not to be too concerned that a great injustice has taken place.)
