Beshear Won't Cancel Prayer Breakfast

  • {Frankfort, Kentucky}...Americans United for the Separation of Church and State has joined The Freedom from Religion Foundation in a call for Governor Steve Beshear to cancel a prayer breakfast set for March 6th. The Americans United group sent a letter to Beshear Monday, contending that the prayer breakfast constitutes an unconstitutional endorsement of religion, but Beshear said the prayer breakfast is a long-held tradition that he will not cancel. The Freedom from Religion Foundation had made a similar request last week on the same grounds.
