Texas Governor’s Plan For Day Of Prayer Meets Resistance : The Two-Way : NPR
The dominionist disguises are dropping.
Interfaith Alliance President Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy said in a statement today that the governor should “refrain from using his public office for sectarian purposes.”
“Governor Perry’s call for governors around the country to join him in prayer and fasting this August raises serious concerns about his commitment to the boundaries between religion and government,” Gaddy said. “It has been my experience that when elected leaders invoke religion in this way, it almost always has more to do with furthering a political agenda than a religious one.”
The Secular Coalition asked other governors to reject Perry’s invitation because the day of prayer excludes anyone who is not a Christian.
