Christian Nurse Says Oregon Hospital Tried to Force Her to Give Up Christian Practices
A Christian nurse at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital alleges that hospital administrators forced an employee group to adopt a more 'interfaith' approach, removing prayers, Bible study and other religious activities from their meetings. The nurse's concerns were allegedly only addressed after she took her complaints to higher authorities.
A Christian nurse at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital claims hospital administrators attempted to force an employee group to adopt 'interfaith' practices, including removing prayer, Bible study, and other religious activities from their meeting space if they didn't comply with the request. The nurse says she was told that only secular discussions would be allowed in the designated area if the Christian group dropped its faith-based activities. The hospital initially refused to approve the employee group's request for a religiously-neutral meeting space without modification. OHSU has not publicly commented on the incident.
