A PRIEST in the United States is suing the governing body of Ottawa County, in Michigan, for excluding him from the prayer rota because of his religious beliefs. They also ended the tradition of the saying of the prayers by ministers of different denominations on a rota. No Episcopalian priest had been invited to say prayers since the elections, Fr Cramer said. Fr Cramer has already considered what prayer he would say at the next meeting, should he win the case. I’d pray for people of colour in our county who saw the motto ‘Where you belong’ taken away, along with the department of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and now wonder if Ottawa County can be a home for them.
