Little Rock Council Moves To Non-Sectarian Invocations

Little Rock, Arkansas city council has decided to permit only non-sectarian prayers to open their meetings after a resident complained about sectarian Christian invocations. City attorney Tom Carpenter gave city council a memo on permissible practices. Some have suggested that city council should hire its own chaplain to give opening prayers, according to a report yesterday by KTAV-TV.
