Bethany Children’s Health Center Retracts Controversial Employee Pledge…

Right before I left on my 4th of July vacation, I received a tip via the Ogle Mole network about some weird happenings at the Bethany Children’s Health Center – a Christian-based 24-hour care facility dedicated to improving health and preventing injuries of Oklahoma children.

Apparently, the hospital’s Board of Directors crafted a “Statement of Mission, Vision, Faith and Christian Principles of the Organization” that they wanted all employees – from physicians to orderlies and everyone in between – to sign in order to maintain employment with the hospital. 

Even though you don’t apparently have to be a Christian to work at the hospital, the document was steeped deep in Evangelical dogma that reflected the Hospital’s Christian roots.
