“Jesus is not an illegal word, the Bible is not a banned book and evangelistic speech is not a crime,” said the letter, signed by Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt of The Pray In Jesus Name Project, a Colorado-based group.

Hackney spokesman Bill Holmes said at least one other House member had also received the fax.

The eight-member bipartisan committee will review guidelines for prayers in the chamber.
