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.

What I found interesing was that the NHS policy was that nurses were not supposed to use their position to promote religious or political etc. points of view. Wouldn't she only be promoting the Christian point of view if the old dear got better, presumably in some miraculous way? If she keeled over and died the next day would that be seen as promoting FSM?
