City Council Acts To Keep Invocations Non-Sectarian
Yet another city council has reacted to a letter from the Freedom from Religion Foundation objecting to sectarian invocations. With almost no discussion, the Tracy, California City Council voted Tuesday to take steps to assure that invocations are non-sectarian. The Tracy (CA) Press reports that Council will send out a letter to those who sign up to deliver prayers telling them to keep their prayer non-sectarian. Council also will write to several dozen religious groups, including three that are non-Christian, inviting them to participate in delivering invocations.
