Pray tell

Horsham DC say prayers before each council meeting. Many councils do the same. They stress the prayers are held before the meeting.

Interestingly if I wanted to hire a council chamber for a business meeting I would have to pay perhaps £500. In fact there are rules that say councils must charge when people want to use rooms for non-council business.

I assume the christian councillors are paying to hire the council chamber for their private meeting.
