URGENT ACTION NEEDED
Yet another military chaplain has landed himself in trouble for
following the teachings of his faith. Lt. Commander Wes Modder, pictured
to the right, is a decorated U.S. Navy Chaplain who has served with
distinction for 19 years. He has been removed from his duties and will
be brought before an official Board of Inquiry and could be ultimately
forced out of the military.
Why is such drastic action being taken against someone who was
recommended for early promotion? Chaplain Modder expressed biblical
views of sexual morality, including homosexuality, when counseling
another officer. For this, he is accused of “failing to show tolerance
and respect.”
Chaplain Modder -- a Christian chaplain -- gave biblical counsel
about sexual morality, and now he’s in danger of losing his job. This
kind of intimidation must not be allowed to continue. The chaplaincy
exists in order to give spiritual care to men and women who serve our
country, sacrifice much, and are often daily in harm’s way. When a
chaplain is not allowed to speak the tenets of his faith, what is left
for him to speak?
Please click the link below and join Freedom Alliance, Family
Research Council and other great organizations that have come together
to correct this gross injustice. Simply sign the petition to Secretary
of Defense Ash Carter and Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus calling for
Chaplain Modder to be fully restored and all charges to be dropped
against him. We will deliver your petition to them to show them that the
American people will not stand for their military being whitewashed of
faith.
