The opposite is needed

I FEEL compelled to reply to the letter in the Observer dated August 5 concerning prayers at council meetings.

Prayers are in no way outdated! Prayer can guide and inspire and a council led by prayer would be a wonderful thing for our town.

It is very sad and to be lamented that we do not have more Christian councillors, for we should uphold our Christian heritage. We are too ready to compromise in an effort to please everyone, which isn’t possible.

Instead we should be holding on to our Christian values and showing that they mean something to us. As for religion and politics not mixing … the opposite is needed, just as Jesus did when he was here on earth!
