Prayers at Chesapeake council meetings stir debate (Virginian-Pilot)
Thursday, August 06, 2009Virginian-Pilot: "Standing before the City Council in May, New Temple Grove Ministries Pastor John McDonald asked God to bless the meeting and all that was to happen that Tuesday night. 'We ask all of this in Jesus' name,' McDonald ended.
That invocation and others that referenced Jesus Christ this year are at the heart of a debate over whether the Chesapeake council's opening prayers violate the separation of church and state."
