Oh the humanity!
(Fox News Radio) — A Minnesota lawmaker wants state senate leaders to order chaplains to keep their Senate invocations nondenominational and refrain from overt mentions of Jesus, Christianity — or any other faith-specific references.
State Sen. Terri Bonoff, who is Jewish, said she feels uncomfortable when ministers mention Jesus and Christianity during prayers.
The breaking point came on Monday when Dennis Campbell, the pastor of Granite City Baptist Church, offered a prayer that mentioned Jesus Christ three times.
“And we pray, Lord, that you help us to show reverence to the Lord Jesus Christ and the word of God today,” Campbell prayed.
After the prayer, Bonoff rose to voice her objections. She also demanded that he not be invited back. And now the Democratic lawmaker wants senate leaders to require chaplains to deliver non-denominational prayers.
