Cities should stay out

-

If the Rogers and Springdale mayors did not sponsor the events, why were each promoted as the “Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast”? Why were members of the city staff so involved in selling tickets and other promotions? I wrote a strong letter to the Rogers mayor, emphasizin­g my belief that it was unconstitu­tional for city officials to involve themselves in matters that should clearly separate the activities of church and state. I have no objection to church pastors organizing and promoting a prayer breakfast. I do oppose involvemen­t of government. ROD GREIG
