British Doctor fired for e-mailing prayer

(March 31.2012) A British doctor claims he was fired after e-mailing a prayer to his co-workers to “motivate” the department. Dr David Drew, a Christian e-mailed a prayer of St Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit Order, to colleagues at Walsall Manor Hospital, in western England, the Derby Telegraph reported overnight. Dr Drew said “Little did I know that this e-mail would cause so much difficulty and ultimately result in my dismissal. The 64-year-old, who is claiming unfair dismissal, first became the subject of an internal investigation after he raised concerns about the conduct of his colleagues on the hospital’s pediatric ward, a hearing was told.
