Lord's Prayer An Issue In Salisbury

SALISBURY, Md. (AP) -- City Council members in Salisbury are questioning whether to continue to start their meetings with the Lord's Prayer as they have for more than 50 years.

Council members on Monday did not start with the traditional prayer but instead meditation. Members plan to further discuss the issue at next week's work session.

Newly elected council member Laura Mitchell brought up the issue of the prayer after a request from a colleague.
