My Practice has acquired an additional District Nurse.
He asked me if he could affix a cross to the wall and to hold prayer
meetings for staff and patients in one of the rooms.
Before I get the infidels sword out of the cupboard, thought I'd ask
your views :-)
My view is that the practice of any religion is a private affair.
Of course, I have no problems at all if he were to keep the cross in a
drawer and pray as much as he likes in private.
I feel uncomfortable with aligning the Practice with any particular
faith. I certainly don't talk about religion at all, neither to staff
nor to patients.
Should we also hold prayer meetings for all the other major faiths? (If
so, then we'll need a survey, won't we?) ;-)
Is this the function of a medical practice?
Does God need sales people?
What do you think?
