DND’s disrespect

August 23, 2026

I add my voice in opposition the Department of National Defence banning Christian prayer by chaplains at public events. It's recklessly based on fear-filled arrogance that resents the right of all human beings to recognize the Creator. The authors should share the dialogue behind this ridiculously stupid decision. I served for five summers as a chaplain to Cadet camps. I cannot think how DND has sunk so low as to disrespect so many.

You’re right: It’s reckless, ridiculous and wrong – the Editor.
