Update to this story.
(CNSNews.com) — A group representing more than 2,500 Evangelical Christian military chaplains says House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was wrong on Thursday when she called a provision in the House defense authorization bill designed to protect military chaplains “a fraud.”
“I think she misses the point entirely,” said Dr. Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
“Right now this administration has created an environment in the Department of Defense that if you are in favor of same-sex relationships, you may speak. If you are not in favor, you cannot speak,” Crews said.
During her weekly press conference with reporters on Thursday, Pelosi told CNSNews.com that she agrees with the Obama administration — and opposes the provision, Section 536 of the National Defense Authorization Act.
