Legislative prayer is deeply embedded in the history and tradition of this country and has coexisted with principles of the separation of church and state. Under the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the Constitution it is meant to lend gravity to the occasion at the opening of legislative sessions. Solemn words, respectful in tone that invite City Council members to reflect upon shared ideals and common ends before they embark on the fractious business of governing serves that legitimate function. Based on Constitutional interpretations rendered by the United States Supreme Court the invocation should be non-sectarian and offer members of the City Council a time of reflection and encouragement. It is an opportunity to convey a common message of shared values and ideals derived from our American heritage. Council meetings are held in the Council Chambers, 2nd floor of City Hall, and start promptly at 5:30 p.m. Please arrive 15 minutes early. After roll call is taken, Mayor will call you forward. Please come forward to the podium and state your name and address. The invocation should be one minute or less. It is acceptable and permissible to use the name "God" or "Holy Spirit" and other names commonly utilized by most religions. In respect to others, please do not use names such as Jesus, Allah, Buddha, or other names that are exclusively utilized by one religious sect. You must refrain from making references that are specific to any particular religion, denomination or sect or that promote particular religious figures, deities, images or symbols. The use of physical symbols or props is prohibited. The invocation should not be used to proselytize or advance any one faith, belief or non -belief, nor should it be used to disparage any other faith, belief or non -belief. When closing your prayer, you may say "in your name" or "in your many names" without using the name of your belief. f 9..ev, r rabe/o g `v& At; // DV, Name / Address It)ate.ir (o o c5-670/ 3 7--291 Olf4 .06-434(-4(9.P?' /V/ 4 Yi /7 City, State Zip Cell Number Other Number Council Date Requested For our records, please state your belief/affiliation: C -J) M' a S 772Pt.
