“You want to know what’s wrong with our Country?  This is it, and the fact, that we don’t fear God anymore, all we want to hear is “itchy ears gospel”  and nothing about fearing God.”

Some members of The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), a non-profit women’s organization devoted to promoting patriotism, are outraged over some purported changes that the group has made to its official book. According to a subset of DAR devotees, all references and mentions of Jesus Christ have been removed from the book. Additionally, poems and prayers have been axed, with members allegedly being told to refrain from praying in Christ’s name.

The debate over these changes has been going on now for more than a year after a revised version of DAR’s Ritual and Missal books was published in Dec. 2011. This book, the primary guide for chaplains to follow, is sparking quite a bit of angst among members who stand firmly opposed to the removal of Christ from the group’s practices.

“A group of us went through the Ritual and Missal and compared the old version and the new version,” one member told Fox News Todd Starnes. “Every single prayer closing in the name of Jesus Christ no longer included the name of Jesus Christ.”

After 122 years of Christianity serving a central role on DAR, some members are dumbfounded by these alleged changes, accusing the organization of making an inappropriate and historically-inaccurate effort to be more politically correct. Rather than mentioning Jesus’ name, the goal is apparently set on being more inclusive and welcoming to non-Christians who wish to join DAR. The alleged directive has some members who believe that faith is a central pillar of the organization’s history up in arms.
