The Bibles are back: Navy lodges scuttle removal plan [View all]

Cathy Lynn Grossman

(RNS) The Gideon Bibles are going back in the Navy’s nightstand drawers.

In June, the U.S. Navy ordered housekeepers at thousands of Navy-owned guest lodges near U.S. and international bases to remove the Bibles and any other “religious materials” from their rooms. Scriptures would remain available on request.
