ACLU Sues VA Board for Praying before Meetings; Says Non-Christians Feel Unwelcome by Prayers

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors in Virginia for praying before the start of their meetings, the Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (September 27, 2011).

The ACLU claims the prayers make non-Christian residents feel unwelcome.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of an anonymous plaintiff who had contacted the ACLU about the supervisors' prayers.

Referred to as "Jane Doe" in legal documents, she is a Pittsylvania County citizen who regularly attends board of supervisors' meetings, according to ACLU.
