2 CHRISTIANS FIRED By UT For Praying
A judge has ruled that two Christians fired by the University of Texas at Arlington for praying for a fellow employee, will get their "day in court." The women were fired in 2006 for praying at work after hours for the coworker, who at the time was not even aware of their desire to pray for her needs.
Officials at U.T.A. in the Dallas suburb of Arlington, claimed the women were fired because praying for someone was a form of "harassment." Judge Terry R. Means of the Northern District Court in Texas says, "Can a prayer for someone constitute harassment when the alleged object of the prayer is unaware of it? This court suspects not." The two women worked in the university development department and are now being represented by Jeff Mateer, the general counsel for the Liberty Institute. Mateer says, "These two women, on their own time, took the initiative to simply pray for peace and harmony in their office, and were rewarded by being fired. We are glad that Linda Shifflett and Mickey Shatkin will now get their day in court, and are hopeful that the truth will prevail."
