Keep The Lord's Prayer in City Council Meetings

Keep The Lord's Prayer in City Council Meetings

The Issue

To begin Council meetings with the Lord's Prayer is to acknowledge there is a higher power, and to petition a blessing for all the people of Brampton.  There are no exclusive terms within the prayer. It asks for provision and protection for all people. There can be no wording more inclusive than those already spoken. Canada is a Nation that has grown and prospered because of it's foundation of Biblical Principals that are for every people in this world. To remove a foundation is detrimental to a firm structure.
