I didn't see anything there about anyone in authority leading a chant. It specifically says a staff member "noticed people praying" - sounds like people sitting around a table and someone saying grace voluntarily. Pretty clear it wasn't the staff doing it .... because they're the ones who reported it. >>>> Tim Rutherford, Senior Citizens Inc. vice president, said some of his staff recently visited the center and noticed people praying shortly before lunch was served. .... "We can't scoff at their rules," he said of federal authorities. "It's a part of the operational guidelines." Rutherford said the moment of silence was introduced to protect that funding. >>>>> My Dad goes to a VA nursing home several times a week to have a prayer service for anyone there who wants to take part: veterans.illinois.gov Unconstitutional? After all, its a government facility and they're paying for the chairs people sit on, etc. Hope no one present has a cup of government water or something in front of them. Its one of many reasons why SC appointments are important.
