NC Pastor Gets Fired For Praying 'In Jesus Name'

A North Carolina pastor is demanding an apology from lawmakers in his state after he was dismissed from his chaplain

duties for praying in Jesus’ name.

The legal representative of Pastor Ron Baity sent a letter this past week to North Carolina House of Representative Speaker Joe Hackney and the House clerk asking that his client receive an apology letter and another invitation to offer an uncensored invocation at the House.

Baity was scheduled to offer the opening prayer at the House for the entire week of May 31. But after he gave the first prayer in the name of Jesus he was relieved from his duties for the rest of the week.
