Pray in Public Notes

1. prayer doesn't have to be made public.
2. Prayer is not needed to make decisions in meetings.
3. having someone pray before a public meeting can make people of opposing religions feel unwanted or our out of place.
4. Having one person from every religion before a meeting would take too much time.
5. Why can't the person who wants to pray do it on their own time while everyone else takes care of their business?
