“I know as a member of the House that five minutes prior to session at the beginning of a stressful day, when we know there will be contentiousness on the floor, that time of reflection, that time of learning is a great opportunity to hear from persons of all different backgrounds and faiths as we prepare for the difficult work that we do. To exclude people from that process is just wrong. I stand with this group happily and look forward to moving past this discriminatory process to a time where we’ll return to having persons of all faiths speak to us and help us learn from them.”
– Representative Jason Dunnington, speaking on the recent alterations to the House Chaplain program that restricts legislators from nominating chaplains that are not of the same faith tradition as the sponsoring representative. (Source)
