Mayor adds prayer to City Council agenda

-I live here and can't wait to vote him out in 2011

GREENSBORO — You might have been thinking that Greensboro City Council members need divine intervention to help them run the city right.

Mayor Bill Knight is going a step further. He’s bringing prayer to the group’s regular meetings.

The moment of silence at the beginning of the City Council meetings will be replaced by an invocation, something the mayor has the authority to include.

Tonight’s invocation will be a remembrance of veterans in honor of Memorial Day, Knight said. At future meetings, the invocations will be more akin to prayer.

“I think this adds a very distinctly America quality and a very necessary element,” he said. “We all believe in something. This is an opportunity to exercise that without infringing on the government-religion prohibition.”

:grr:

I believe he's a dick!

does anyone understand separtion of church and state?
anyone?

This is the type of stuff that Catholics, Anglicans, and others did in Europe when Kings were Kings and Queens were Queens. They didn't do squat until there was a blessing to consecrate their actions.
