PA House of Representatives to Resume Opening Sessions with Faith-Based Prayers

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Pennsylvania House of Representatives will resume opening sessions with faith-based prayers, more than a month after a federal appeals court said the practice comports with the U.S. Constitution. Republican Speaker Mike Turzai of Allegheny County announced those plans today, after a federal district court judge ended an injunction. The appeals court ruled a prohibition against atheists and other nonbelievers giving the invocation didn’t violate the Constitution’s Establishment Clause.
