THIS WEEK MARKS A CRUCIAL MOMENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Public prayer, as we all know, has been under attack and increasingly in peril in our nation. For the first time in 400 years, the United States Supreme Court will decide whether or not public prayer will be allowed to continue. November 6th will be a critical day in America's history as this case "Town of Greece v. Galloway", is heard before the Court. Three days later, the Supreme Court will make a decision, but it will ...not be announced until months later.
Asking God’s blessing on public meetings is a cherished American tradition that is now in jeopardy. This practice is at risk because of a challenge brought by two citizens from Greece, New York, who claim to be “offended” by prayers given to open their city’s council meetings.
For years the Greece Town Council has allowed volunteers from the community to begin its meetings with an invocation. But rather than respect the volunteers’ heartfelt prayers for divine guidance, the two “offended” citizens and Americans United for Separation of Church and State filed a lawsuit to end this cherished practice.

Alliance Defending Freedom will go before the U.S. Supreme Court November 6 to defend the Town of Greece – and all Americans who want to pray in a manner consistent with their faith – in order to preserve public prayer in America.
You and all other citizens in cities and towns across this nation should have the same freedom to pray as our Founding Fathers did when they drafted our Constitution. If you believe in prayer and the value of praying publicly as part of legislative gatherings, stand against this threat with prayer and fasting, especially November 6-9, as the Court hears this case and comes to a decision.
Please also pray for this case, Town of Greece v. Galloway, and the attorneys who will be defending public prayer before the U.S. Supreme Court on November 6. As well as for our 9 Justices. Oh, and you can tell your friends who claim to be Christian Obama supporters to pay careful attention to how the president's appointees vote in this case.
