would you draw the line at letting anybody lead your group in prayer? Would you let a Scientologist, or a Moonie lead your group in prayer? Bottom line is, if you set boundaries yourself for who you would let lead your family, your small group, etc. in prayer, then why do you balk when you see others do it?

This sounded like a governmet meeting prayer. I spend a lot of time at the Utah Capital during the legislative session. I can't tell you how many times I have seen various denominational leaders and congregants lead those meetings in prayer. It is with reverence and respect that they are all treated.

Last time I check the Utah Capital was not a THEOCRACY. In fact it IS the government of all those various demomination and not just the Mormons......ISN'T IT?

But a Christian organization is not a governmental body. They may exclude whomever they want, can't they?

AND I worked for a Salt Lake Company that held weekly sales meeting that opened with prayer. It was owned by LDS men, and only LDS members were asked to pray. They owned the company - and so it was their right. It is not a govenmental right, and so this is precisely a reason to fear Romney. We see clearly an attitude confusing State Governement with ecclisiastical groups. THAT should never happen IMO.
