At the Lexington Park Methodist Church today the Pastor said that the St. Mary's Hospital has just this Thursday April 6th issued its new rule that a patient's minister - Priest - Iman - Church representative, etc., can no longer visit the patient unless the patient first informs and request that the Hospital let the minister in to visit.
The Lex Park UMC Pastor said he walked out of the meeting when the Hospital made the announcement.
Here is St. Mary's Hospital link, FYI, but it does not have the info printed there that I can see.
This does seem like a piculiar rule for a St. Mary's County Hospital. It does seem like an affront to all religion. The UMC Pastor went on to say that he did not expect the rule to stand very long but he did not explain why so it is figured that the area Churches are giving some objection back to the Hospital.
I am thinking that the Hospital probably has some real reason for making such a rule, like many churches do oppose Doctors on Religious grounds. Like many Protestant Churches preach and pray for miracles, and Witnesses refuse their members from taking blood from Doctors, and Catholics will defy any Hospital about abortion issues, so maybe St. Mary's Hospital is starting its own holy war to get our Religions out of the system.
