As I noted in a previous blog, WL Council is meeting Tuesday and one of the 3 Delegations relates to Prayer Month in the City of WL
3 Prayers are to be recited at the WL Council meeting. They will come from:
* WL Ministerial Association
* Sikh Prayer
* First Nations Prayer
Although the WL Ministerial Association prayer may take just a moment or two and the same applying to the First Nations Prayer, I'm told that the Sikh Prayer takes 15 minutes to complete, if you are to show respect to how the Sikh Prayer is done
Also, if WL Council wants to invite the WL Ministerial Association and the Sikh & First Nation community to do a prayer at a Council meeting, then why not invite the Catholic, Anglican, Baptist communities to do a prayer as well.
I believe 1 Prayer from the WL Ministerial Association is sufficient to show respect to Prayer Month (November) in the City. Otherwise, we risk looking like trying to play to all sides and when it comes to Prayers said at a Council Meeting, which Quesnel Council does at the beginning of their formal meetings, 1 Prayer recited is sufficient, otherwise it is overkill
