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.

Meh. I can see as how someone would take it badly, but I think if someone offered to do that for me, I'd be quite touched, whether I shared their faith or not. Unless they were offering to do it instead of treat me...

Oh, and a girl called Selene asked me to say hi from herself, Ben and Alex... :)

Hello Selene! Long time no see!

She's living in Epsom now...working at Croydon college. She does kung fu with me about one night a week. :)
