Ignorance in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania legislature rescinded its invitation to a Gettysburg pastor to open a session in prayer because the pastor included the name of Jesus in that prayer. (Advanced written copies of all prayers must first be supplied before the visiting minister is allowed to pray.)

The folks of Pennsylvania must not know much about our nation's history; how, for example, just days after Thomas Jefferson wrote his "wall of separation letter," he went to the capitol to hear a visiting Baptist preacher proclaim the gospel..at the invitation of congress! Obviously, the wall of separation between church and state didn't prohibit the full preaching of the gospel within the walls of government. That prayer in Jesus' name would have been considered contrary to the first amendment would be laughable were it not for the ignorance required to hold that position.
