Council Vote Against Christian Services Brings Recall Effort

The Detroit Metro Times reports this morning on an effort in Troy, Michigan to recall the mayor and mayor pro-tem because of their votes earlier this year to prevent the use of city property for a Christian-only religious service. While Troy city council eventually approved a Christian National Day of Prayer Service that was held on May 5, the newly-formed Troy Committee to Protect Free Speech is now trying to show their displeasure with those who voted against it. Mayor Louise Schilling explained her vote, saying, “It is not the role of elected officials to promote any one group or religion above another.”
