About praying at CITCOM meetings


If for whatever reason one is uncomfortable delivering an Invocation, one should ask to be removed from the rotation. Most people won't notice.

I have learned that City Commissioner ______ directed an appointed city official to write the text of an invocation for him. The matter deserves comment beyond the propriety of making such a request from Staff.

Or type out a prayer and make it one's "Hail Mary": Read the same text each time one's name comes up. If it develops that several at The Table would rather not deliver the Invocation, assign Staff to create or suggest an acceptable text, and designate the the mayor or a willing commissioner who will read the same text at every meeting.
