“Federal employees can display religious items at work, pray in groups while not on duty and encourage co-workers to adopt their faith, according to guidance released Monday by the Office of Personnel Management, which manages the federal civilian workforce,” the Washington Post reports.
Applegrove:
So those who resist being converted, or who have a less right wing faith, will be reported on? Later: Also will there be a 'call to prayer' throughout Washington's streets for those who practice various forms of Islam? Because that would fit in with bells ringing.
Later still: will this be an opportunity to explain to evangelicals how most of Trump's policies hurt the poor?

Federal employees can display religious items at work, pray in groups while not on duty and encourage co-workers to adopt their faith, according to guidance released Monday by the Office of Personnel Management, which manages the federal civilian workforce. In a memo titled “Protecting Religious Expression in the Federal Workplace,” OPM Director Scott Kupor said that the government workforce should be “a welcoming place” for employees who practice a religious faith.
“Allowing religious discrimination in the Federal workplace violates the law,” Kupor said in the memo. “It also threatens to adversely impact recruitment and retention of highly-qualified employees of faith.” Although the core of OPM’s guidance on religious expression differs little from past administrations, it “presents a substantial shift in that it encourages employees to express their religious beliefs in the workplace,” said Stefanie Camfield, associate general counsel and director of human resource services at Engage PEO.
Historically, Camfield said, employers have been advised to keep religious conversation at work to a minimum, noting that “the more religion is allowed into the workplace, the more likely it is that differences of opinion are raised.” “In the current political environment, these types of differences have a way of turning into arguments,” Camfield said. “” In some cases, it leads to outright hostility, which makes it more likely that an employee will feel singled out and discriminated against for their beliefs.”
In the memo, Kupor outlined various activities that should not warrant disciplinary action, noting that federal employees “may engage in conversations regarding religious topics with fellow employees, including attempting to persuade others of the correctness of their own religious views, provided that such efforts are not harassing in nature.” “Employees may also encourage their co-workers to participate in religious expressions of faith, such as prayer, to the same extent that they would be permitted to encourage co-workers participate in other personal activities,” Kupor stated in the memo.

at a photo op in DC during his first admin talk religion at work?? I think not as he is a KNOW NOTHING about Christianity or any religion for that matter.
I FIRMLY believe that head-hunting is THE ONLY path to salvation. I urge allyou non-believers to impale your neighbor's head on a sharp stick, and feel the peace of salvation come over you! Then you will be delivered to your salvation!
