(FORTUNE Magazine) – BILOXI, MISS. -- The Salvation Army violated a woman's constitutional right to freedom of religion when it fired her because she practices witchcraft, a federal judge ruled. U.S. District Judge Dan M. Russell Jr. of Biloxi ruled last week that the Salvation Army cannot discriminate against witches because it receives federal funds for some programs. Jamie Kellam Dodge, a former victim's assistance coordinator at the Pascagoula-based Salvation Army Domestic Violence Shelter, filed a $1.25 million lawsuit against the Salvation Army. She sought reinstatement and compensation for embarrassment, humiliation, pain and suffering. A ruling on compensation will be made later, court officials said. Dodge, 28, was fired in August 1987 after she admitted using the agency copy machine to copy Satanic . . . rituals, according to court records . . . The Salvation Army has not decided whether it will appeal the decision. -- From an AP dispatch.
