A New Hampshire Veterans Hospital Agreed to Mediation With Two Veterans in a Legal Dispute Over a Bible Display
Two U.S. Air Force veterans and New Hampshire’s veterans hospital involved in a legal dispute over the display of a Bible have agreed to mediation.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in 2019 by the veterans against the Manchester hospital director said the Bible’s inclusion on a table near the entrance honoring missing veterans and prisoners of war is a violation of the U.S. Constitution.
The veterans said the table should be a memorial to all who have served, and they had suggested replacing the Bible with a Book of Faith containing the writings and prayers from seven religious groups.
