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.

Color, you may want to follow the whole thread. SD was talking specifically about the "California Republican Assembly" where a Mormon was passed over to pray.
