Sorry - having read through the thread again, I had forgotten that the nurse in question was handing out prayer cards/offering to pray in people's homes, not in hospital. In my opinion, this is equally, if not even more, inappropriate. I also agree that this is an employment issue, rather than one about religion: she was told not to do it on a previous occasion, and has carried on regardless. That is why the case is being taken to the lengths it is.
