Slippery slope, ping! If this passes, expect more stringent rulings to follow, such as religious processions. etc.

I've lived in the Town of Greece for 40+ years. Great place to raise a family ... although we are currently suffering from an invasion of the Section 8 types.
We're pushing back and I think we'll be fine in the long run.

This is happening in my area. The head of the Town Board said....We aren't establishing a religion...and we invite people to do the prayer.

The prayer at the meeting actually reveals the intention of the amendment. The antagonist is just another religious rival....in other words...there is more than one religion...and if you silence one...you MUST silence both.

We are in a spiritual battle for the soul of America. Now is the time for all believers to pray for our nation to turn to GOD.

BIBLE PROMISES FOR AMERICA

“Even now,” declares the LORD, “return to me with all your hearts, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your GOD, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity. Joel 2:12-13

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:15

Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD. Psalm 32:12
May YOUR unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in YOU. Psalm 33:22
If MY people, who are called by MY name, will humble themselves and pray and seek MY face and change their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive them and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34

For those who honor ME, I will honor, and those who despise ME shall be lightly esteemed. 1 Samuel 2:30b

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Matthew 5:12-15

Hear my voice when I call, O LORD, have mercy on me and answer. YOU have said, “Seek my face,” and my heart says to YOU, “YOUR presence, O LORD, I seek.” Psalm 27: 7-8

The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all. Psalm 35:17-19

May YOUR unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in YOU. Psalm 33:22

Non-Christians who have delivered prayers include...an atheist.

"Dear non-existent Supreme Being..."

When we began, Town meeting were held IN THE CHURCHES or in the saloons!!

Teachers in Oklahoma school attacked by Monday's tornado, admit to praying out loud as they were sheltering small children with their own bodies.

I find the illustration included with the article interesting. In it, we see the members of Congress in various attitudes of prayer. Some are standing with head bowed, some are kneeling, some are sitting--reflecting the pluralistic nature of the group.

Am I correct? Is there one guy with his back to the minister with his hands covering his ears?

If you wanted to ensure that the US was imposed with Islam, what would you do?

I heard a neat story from a member of our prayer group last night. She is a librarian at a middle school in a nearby public school district. One day last week, a group of kids were in the library when one of them looked around and said, “Hey, we’re all Christians here, aren’t we?” It turns out they were, so they gathered in a circle and prayed the Our Father.

[0.E.O]

Non-Christians who have delivered prayers include a Jewish layperson, a local Baha'i leader, a Wiccan priestess and an atheist.

So...what did the atheist do? Stand there and be silent for two minutes?
