INVOCATION: On May 16, 2006, the City Council unanimously approved the
offering of a brief invocation at the commencement of all meetings of the City
Council or Redevelopment Agency. In
doing so, the City Council is cognizant of its legal obligation to assure that
such invocations are “legislative prayers,” and that they do not purport to
advance any particular religion or religious denomination.
Consistent with
the so-called “Burbank” prayer decision, the City Council hereby admonishes
those who offer invocations to do so consistent with the current state of the
law – meaning that an invocation must not be used to identify, advance, or urge
a particular religious denomination, or identify a specific religion’s
deity. This evening we are pleased that
our invocation will be offered by: PASTOR DR. JOHNNY V. BAYLOR, JUDSON BAPTIST
CHURCH
