Prayers and politicians

In the shadow of mourning at the Cathedral of St. Paul today, about 100 people were in a more celebratory mood.

The Minnesota version of a National Day of Prayer was held on the grounds of the Minnesota Capitol. Minnesota politicians were not at all shy about participating, despite the ongoing controversy about linking government with religion. Last month a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled that a federal government declaration of a National Day of Prayer violated the U.S. Constitution.

Included in the video is the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, associated justice of the state Supreme Court, and leaders of the Minnesota Legislature.
