Prayer Still A Hot Topic At Statehouse
(INDIANAPOLIS) - A state lawmaker invoked the name of Jesus Christ yesterday in a prayer opening business at the Indiana Senate despite an ongoing court dispute.
Republican Senator Dennis Kruse of Auburn delivered the minute-long prayer on organization day.
Sectarian prayers in the Indiana House are the focus of an ongoing lawsuit that says the prayers violate the constitutional separation of church and state. The senate wasn't named in the suit.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana is asking a federal appeals court to reconsider a decision that a group of taxpayers didn't have standing to file the suit.
Speaker Patrick Bauer read a nonsectarian prayer in the State House.
