air force pagans, druids and wiccans have a place to worship

this is a good thing. too often there seems to be a disconnect in folks' minds between the ability of people to worship as they want and the opportunity to participate in a physical way that makes a difference to them. in prisons, at least out here on the rim, there's a big move toward granting american indians access to sweat lodges for ceremonies, and here in wisconsin there was a big issue a couple years ago when one of the state's prison chaplains turned out to be a pagan. but as with the victory won a few years ago by the families of pagans as well as military pagan groups to have their religion denoted both on their dogtags and on their military graves, this is hard fought and worthwhile. too often, we only think of the abrahamics--judaism, christianity, islam--as the sole religions worth taking into account. but there are so many more faiths of which most of us aren't aware, and one of the unacknowledged benefits or curses of globalism is that our religions as well as our economies become less provincial. (there is nothing saying, of course, that the christians could not also benefit from this worship space, given some recent research.)
