Prayer at City Council Meetings
In its present session The Supreme Court is noodling over whether public buildings can have religious icons in them, such as copies of The Ten Commendments.
This picks at an old wound here in South Haven. There was a lot of talk some years ago about the use of local Christian ministers to start City Council meetings with prayer. Is this appropriate?
I, personally, find it inappropriate and frequently offensive. I can't imagine how arabs, jews and real agnostics think.
Who SAYS that governmental meetings should begin with prayer?
Whose town is this? OURS.
