There is a church on every corner of Kenai Peninsula communities. So what is this, a public assembly meeting for administrating community needs gets a prayer to open so the good Christians can skip going to church? Sarah Palin started a big trend when she campaigned on social issues embraced by Christians when running for Mayor of Wasilla years ago. Running for Mayor of Wasilla the voters had a chance to vote in a Pro Life  candidate which was at odds with the small town political process at a time when assemblies and mayors of small towns never even mentioned what political party or religion they were a member of or not.  In a small community there were no decisions to be made based on those beliefs where on state level that could happen. So skip any opening that reeks of any "spirituality" and get on with the business of running a small community and if you feel like you need a moment with some God, then step outside and commune with nature.
