Comments About Gays, Abortion Upset Many At Council Meeting
http://www.newsnet5.com/news/4148899/detail.html

Controversy is swirling surrounding an open prayer at last week's Cleveland City Council meeting.

NewsChannel5's Joe Pagonakis reported that during the prayer, the man leading prayer asked for "homosexuals to repent and abortionists to stop their infanticide."

Some council members are upset, and want to ban Keith Timco, a city hall employee, from ever leading the prayer service again.

What part of "separation of church and state" don't people understand?
