This is an update to my August 14th posting.  A navy chaplin was facing court marshal for praying.

Well, the jury is back, and he is guilty.  You can read the details here.  He is being assessed a small fine.  The chaplin stood tall through the process.

Klingenschmitt had rested the case without calling any witnesses, one of whom was scheduled to be Moore, because of the biblical injunction in Isaiah, where the prophecy about Jesus says he "was oppressed and afflicted yet he did not open his mouth."

The real issue is the navy's policy of non-sectarian prayer. 

Several dozen other chaplains also have joined in a civilian lawsuit that alleges the Navy hierarchy allows only those Christian ministers who advocate only non-sectarian blandishments to be promoted. Those with evangelical beliefs, they say, are routinely drummed from the Navy.

I agree with the chaplin here.

"There is no more fundamental right than the inalienable right to worship our creator, and I pray in Jesus name," Klingenschmitt said. "For any government official to require non-sectarian prayers is for him to enforce his government religion upon me, to censor, exclude and punish me for my participation"

Non-sectarian is a religion all it's own, and they are dedicated to it's establishment.
