VA Hospital sees the light: Chaplain may once again visit patients

Evangelical Examiner: “Colburn, a retired veteran who serves as a chaplain for the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans organizations and had been volunteering his time for over four years, was informed by the hospital’s chief of voluntary services that he would no longer have access to the hospital due to the ‘religious content’ of his activities . . . ADF Litigation Counsel Daniel Blomberg said: ‘Because many of the patients Mr. Colburn serves cannot leave their beds, the care he provides would not be possible otherwise,’ and that; ‘At such a difficult period in the lives of our cherished veterans, such a service is invaluable.”
