Date: 2012-02-15 04:53 pm (UTC)Having not attend this council I am unclear on whether the prayers were previous optional or compulsory but they were on the official agenda. Now they must not be on the official agenda; but can happen pre-meeting (or post-meeting, or whenever else people like); they are even allowed to use the council chamber to hold them in.
