"The pastor declined the invitation after someone on McCall's staff told him he could not use Jesus' name in the prayer.
'First of all, I don't see how Jesus is denominational. The whole Christian world is called after him,' Stoltzfoos said. 'I just feel like, if you want me to pray, then I have to pray to the one thing I know. I only know one God personally. I only serve one God. How do I do something that dishonors him?'
The policy -- not yet three months old -- requires guest chaplains to first submit their prayers in writing and then, if deemed necessary, agree to change their words to meet 'nondenominational' guidelines established by McCall's staff."
