  • Prayer Practices

    Prayer Practices

    Floor Action 5-145 Prayer Practices Legislatures operate with a certain element of pomp, ceremony and procedure that flavor the institution with a unique air of tradition and theatre. The mystique of the opening ceremonies and rituals help to bring order and dignity to the proceedings. One of these opening ceremonies is the offering of a prayer. Use of legislative prayer. The practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer is long- standing. The custom draws its roots from both houses of the British Parliament, which, according to noted parliamentarian Luther Cushing, from time ”immemorial” began each day with a “reading of the prayers.” In the United States, this custom has continued without interruption at the federal level since the first Congress under the Constitution (1789) and for more than a century in many states. Almost all state legislatures still use an opening prayer as part of their tradition and procedure (see table 02-5.50). In the Massachusetts Senate, a prayer is offered at the beginning of floor sessions for special occasions. Although the use of an opening prayer is standard practice, the timing of when the prayer occurs varies (see table 02-5.51). In the majority of legislative bodies, the prayer is offered after the floor session is called to order, but before the opening roll call is taken. Prayers sometimes are given before floor sessions are officially called to order; this is true in the Colorado House, Nebraska Senate and Ohio House. Many chambers vary on who delivers the prayer. Forty-seven chambers allow people other than the designated legislative chaplain or a visiting chaplain to offer the opening prayer (see table 02-5.52).

    2015 Interim LEGISLATIVE Volume 28, No. 5 August 2015 RECORD * Read online at www.lrc.ky.gov/legislation.htm Lawmakers focus on preserving military bases by Jim Hannah LRC Public Information FRANKFORT – The best way to preserve Ken- tucky’s two largest military installations – Fort Knox and Fort Campbell – is to make them more economi- cally viable for U.S. Army to operate. That’s what Col. (Ret.) David Thompson, executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs, told members of the Interim Joint Committee on Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection on Aug. 13 in Frankfort. “The theme is to reduce their costs,” Thompson said. “They don’t have the money they had before. Any time we can help the installations, to pull the cost burdens off them for operating the installations, the better.” He said it’s vital Kentucky does everything it can to preserve the two bases, in addition the Blue- grass Army Depot in Richmond. The military brings $15.3 billion into Kentucky’s economy annually, Thompson said. Much of that is because of the three installations. For example, Fort Knox’s annual eco- Photo by Bud Kraft/LRC Public Information nomic impact is estimated at $2.5 billion.
