Rep. Chuck Strohm is stepping down as the House Chaplain Coordinator. Previously, there was controversy over whether non-Christians would be allowed to provide the prayer for the day.
Strohm’s resignation as chaplain coordinator didn’t address the controversy, but he did show appreciation for being able to serve in that position.
“It has been a tremendous honor serving as the chaplain coordinator for the Oklahoma House. Effective immediately, however, I will no longer be serving in this role. Having the opportunity to meet so many pastors from our great state has been a tremendous honor and has inspired me to grow in my walk with the Lord Jesus,” said Strohm in a statement.
The House Speaker’s Office will now handle all communications regarding the House Chaplain Program.
