Making it an issue
If there are so many more important issues to
talk about, then let’s dump the opening prayer at
council meetings and move on.
However, many who support the prayer are un-
able to do so – it must remain, they insist, to main-
tain tradition, because Christian values are what
the country was settled on, because our soldiers
pray.
The reasons are many. But the fact remains,
Christianity is one of many faiths in the commu-
nity.
Council has passed first reading on a motion to
open the opening prayer to other beliefs. A local
pastor has even offered to organize a rotation list,
so all can be included.
Still, the rest of Canada, as far as anyone can tell,
long ago recognized that church and state should
be separate. No other council still has such an
opening prayer, and in Ontario a court ruled it il-
legal.
Dropping the prayer is not a knock on Christians,
just recognizing its time and place.
If members of council want to get together with
a protestant clergyman outside the council cham-
ber before their regular meeting and pray for guid-
ance, they should.
But such views shouldn’t be forced on others, not
to start a secular meeting to discuss matters affect-
ing all residents of Maple Ridge.
The prayer makes Coun. Linda King, and no
doubt more who have different religious views,
uncomfortable. She has every right to bring up
this matter now, and she shouldn’t be chastised for
