San Marcos City Council votes to continue Prayer

Last night the council chambers were PACKED with supporters of prayer.  Probably around 20 citizens spoke out for continuing invocations at council meetings.  One representative of the ACLU spoke out against prayer.  Once the council took up the issue, it took about 5 minutes for them to vote unanimously IN FAVOR of continuing the invocation and having the city attorney draft an official policy for it.

Basically, prayers will be open to all faiths of San Marcos and the prayers can not promote or demote any religion over another.  The mayor said that the council would continue to work with the SMMA to coordinate prayers, but that the city clerk is officially in charge of scheduling those who will pray.
