‘Citing DEI made no sense because Christians were excluded instead of included’
By WND Staff
A Christian organization that for decades has simply handed out free Bibles is being blocked from its mission by a Georgia hospital, and sources report it’s because of the leftist ideology there involving “diversity, equity and inclusion.”
A report from the Daily Wire notes the issue involving Gideons International is happening at the Phoebe Putney Health System.
That corporation provides health services to “hundreds of thousands of people in over 40 Georgia counties,” the report explains.
The Wire reported, “Gideons hasn’t had its Bibles in the system’s hospitals for months after maintaining a working relationship for several years.”
The questions being raised is why “inclusion” practices “would be used to exclude Christians from sharing Bibles with those who are sick or on their deathbed,” the Daily Wire said.
The Gideons, a group that dates back to 1899, has handed out more than two billion Bibles in more than 95 languages in 200 countries and territories, the report said.
