From Christian Post-
A secular legal organization announced its outrage over the blessing
of a Bible for the swearing-in of commanders of the newly created Space
Force, calling it a “shocking and repulsive display of only the most
vile, exclusivist, fundamentalist Christian supremacy.”
On Sunday,
the Washington National Cathedral held a ceremony to bless a King James
Bible that will be used to swear in all commanders of America’s newest
military branch, the U.S. Space Command, if they so choose.
"Today
@WNCathedral blessed the official Bible for the new @SpaceForceDoD,
which will be used to swear in all commanders of America's newest
military branch," the cathedral's official account tweeted Sunday.
The
Rev. Carl Wright, the Episcopal Church's bishop suffragan for armed
services and federal ministries, offered the blessing as Maj. Gen.
Steven Schaick, Air Force chief of chaplains, held the Bible donated by the Museum of the Bible in Washington, according to The Washington Post.
