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: SENIOR
PASTOR GERALD DICKENS, LOVE FAITH AND HOPE COMMUNITY CHURCH
