Subject: RE: BS: Nurse Suspended for praying ????
That's just it Mrrzy, we are dealing with human condition. Our hearts will lead us to do the right thing, given that we are accustomed to having a tender heart for the folks. The offer of a Chaplin is a very fine compromise and as someone above pointed out, many hospitals have chaplains on hand for this situation. I have done hospital chaplaincy work myself. When people are gravely ill or dying that is no time to enter into some contentious theological debate. You are trying to render aide and comfort in any way you can. What Peace did was a right and noble thing. Here was one human being reaching out to comfort some one in their last moments on this planet and to help them focus on the one thing that gave their life meaning. I would hope that all could see this for what it is.
