New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decided there will be no clergy or prayers at the upcoming ceremony observing the tenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, The New American website reports today (September 1, 2011).
Evelyn Erskine -- a spokeswoman for Mayor Bloomberg -- said the ceremony "was designed in coordination with 9/11 families with a mixture of readings that are spiritual, historical, and personal in nature."
Rudy Washington -- an official in former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's administration -- said "to have a memorial service where there is no prayer... appears to be insanity to me. I feel like America has lost its way."
