Supreme Court Upholds Town Prayer
[quote]The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a town in upstate New York did not violate the Constitution by starting its public meetings with a prayer from a “chaplain of the month” who was almost always Christian.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing for the majority in a 5-to-4 decision that divided the court’s more conservative members from its liberal ones, said the prayers were merely ceremonial. They were neither unduly sectarian nor likely to make members of other faiths feel unwelcome.[/quote]
It is surely a coincidence that all of the members of the majority in this case were Catholic and all of non-Christians in the court were in the minority.

15 RepliesNot that I really care much about this because I don't think it's likely to be adversely affecting anyone or anything, but maybe some of these people could actually try reading the book they love to publicly venerate so much. [quote][i]When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. - Matthew 6:6[/i][/quote]
