Air Force Suspends “Just War Theory”

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) _ The Air Force has suspended a course that nuclear missile launch officers were required to take called “Christian Just War Theory.”

David Smith, spokesman for the Air Force’s Air Education and Training Command, says the course will be revised after complaints about its use of Bible passages to show that it can be moral to go to war.

Smith says that approach is now considered inappropriate in a pluralistic society.

He says the Air Force felt the training was needed for officers who might be called upon to launch nuclear missiles “because of the nature of the job.”

The Washington Post reports that the course was apparently taught by chaplains at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California for more than 20 years.

Rembrant’s Jesus to Display in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (AP) _ A new exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art takes a fresh look at religious paintings, drawings and prints by one of history’s most revered artists.

“Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus” contains works from museums and private collections in the U.S. and Europe. The exhibition of more than 50 works by the Dutch master and his pupils includes a group of seven oil paintings of Jesus Christ that have not been together since they left Rembrandt’s studio in 1656.

Timothy Rub, director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, calls the show “a rare moment to observe the image of Jesus through the imagination of this artistic genius whose life was devoted to representations of biblical truths.”

Prayer Ban Upheld

UNDATED (Religious Liberties) – The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a lower court’s ban on praying in Jesus’ name before public meetings. The ACLU and the Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued the Board of Commissioners in Forsyth, North Carolina in 2007, because opening prayers mentioned Jesus. Judge Paul V. Niemeyer, the dissenter in the 2-1 decision, criticized his fellow jurists by saying, “The majority has dared to step in and regulate the language of prayer…the sacred dialogue between humankind and God. I submit that we must maintain a sacred respect of each religion.”

Senate Chaplain Prays for Impasse

WASHINGTON (AP) _ During frantic efforts to resolve the debt impasse, Senate Chaplain Barry Black has compared Congress to a sinking ship and a burning building.

In the invocation before Sunday’s Senate session, Black prayed, “Save us, O God, for the waters are coming in upon us.”

In Monday’s invocation, Black said he believes in the power of prayer, “Although life’s challenges sometimes prompt us to feel that we are rearranging furniture in a burning building.”

The chaplain’s increasingly dire imagery followed his prayer on behalf of senators Friday, when he asked God to “save us from ourselves.”
