No to crucifix for Christian nurse; yes to jewelry for Muslims

Crucifix nurse loses tribunal

A Christian nurse who lost a discrimination claim against her employer over her right to wear a crucifix has claimed the tribunal's decision marks "a very bad day for Christianity". An employment tribunal ruled in favour of the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Trust Hospital over a claim by nurse Shirley Chaplin that being asked to remove a necklace bearing a crucifix would "violate her faith". Mrs Chaplin was then moved to a desk job in order to comply with the trust's health and safety policy which viewed necklaces of any sort as a potential hazard which could be grabbed by patients. Mrs Chaplin, who wore the emblem at the tribunal hearing in Exeter, said she would stand by her convictions irrespective of the decision and continue to wear the crucifix.

Muslim staff escape hygiene rule, also can wear jewellry
Female staff who follow the Islamic faith will be allowed to cover their arms to preserve their modesty despite earlier guidance that all staff should be "bare below the elbow". The Department of Health has also relaxed rules prohibiting jewellery so that Sikh members of staff can wear bangles linked with their faith, providing they are pushed up the arm while the medic treats a patient. The Department of Health has also relaxed rules prohibiting jewelery so that Sikh members of staff can wear bangles linked with their faith, providing they are pushed up the arm while the medic treats a patient.

Crucifix nurse accuses NHS of double standards over uniform rules for Muslims
The Christian nurse who lost her discrimination case against the NHS after refusing to remove her crucifix has accused the health service of "double standards" after it emerged Muslims doctors and nurses will be allowed to wear long sleeves [and jewelry] for religious reasons.

Isaiah 5:20 "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." A double standard for sure, but in these days when good is called evil we should know that we were told that there shall be godlessness in the last days, (II Timothy 3:1-5,) and that many would fall away from the faith and worship doctrines of demons (II Timothy 3:1-5,7)
