Lt. Gordon J. Klingenschmitt, a Navy chaplain, has lost a three-year battle to stay in the chaplain corps after superiors warned him about delivering sectarian Christian prayers and sermons at a sailor’s memorial service and other events attended by religiously diverse audiences. Lieutenant Klingenschmitt, who spent 16 years in the military, became a hero to religious conservatives, but was court-martialed last year for wearing his uniform at a political protest in front of the White House. He received an honorable discharge.
