Public Prayer

So now Virginia Chaplains are not to pray publicly in the name of Jesus, and six have resigned.

What’s wrong with the view of Sam Adams? From the journals of Congress it is recorded:

That Samuel Adams asserted he was no bigot, and could hear a prayer from any gentleman of piety and virtue, who was at the same time a friend to his country; and nominated Duché.

Has prayer in the name of Jesus made Christians unpatriotic? Do we now have bigots objecting to prayers? Does anyone still speak of “piety”?

I ask you, what’s wrong with what Sam Adams said?
