An appeals court is holding oral arguments to discuss the
Constitutionality of allowing Christian prayer before public meetings.
ABC News reports that the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) sued the Roman County Commission in North Carolina in 2013 for allowing Christian
prayer before local council meetings.
The ACLU was representing citizens who were uncomfortable
with the prayers and claimed they
were discriminatory.
The Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of keeping prayer
before local town council meetings in New York, but the ACLU claims that the North
Carolina case is different.
An attorney supporting the Rowan County Commission asserted
that the “whole nation will be looking at this case.”
