Council Won't Pray Out Loud
Author: Lynn Zerschling Source: Sioux City Journal (IA)
Title: COUNCIL WON'T PRAY OUT LOUD
In the end, it was Councilman Dave Ferris who put the "Amen" on deciding whether city lawmakers will have the chance to say nonsectarian prayers before council meetings.
They won't. The vote was 3-2.
Mayor Mike Hobart and Councilman Jim Rixner joined Ferris in opposing Councilman Aaron Rochester's proposal to give the lawmakers the option of taking turns saying a spoken prayer, or continuing the practice of standing for a moment of silence.

to the wisdom of their own great teachers...
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.
God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows
in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...
We need silence to be able to touch souls.
---Mother Teresa
This was said by a Catholic about communing with the Christian God but it says so much about how anyone can communicate with the Divine however you define Her / Him / Them.
