More letters keep coming in regarding the Lord's Prayer.
We've had quite a reaction to the stories and letters regarding the Carleton Place mayor's attempt to bring the Lord's Prayer to county council meetings.
A majority of feedback has congratulated Paul Dulmage and seems to see this as a beachhead against political correctness.
On the other hand, I've been surprised by the letters against the move. All but one have been very analytical and scholarly in tone. Some even use scripture to argue against having the prayer.
Our editorial will take a look at this issue in the Nov. 26 edition.
A part of me wonders if this is pre-election posturing. After all, the council has already had this debate and even the courts have ruled against it.
But what politician would want to hear at the doorstep, "I heard you voted against the Lord's Prayer."
