Lawmakers Remove Call for Prayer at School Events From Bill
Lawmakers have stripped a House bill of a contentious provision calling for prayer at school events such as sports games and assemblies.



NDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana Senate panel has stripped a House bill of a contentious provision calling for a time for prayer at school events such as sports games and assemblies.

That part of Rep. John Bartlett's bill would have required school districts to adopt a policy allowing for a "limited public forum" for prayer. The Indianapolis Democrat has said the bill would put prayer back in schools and positively impact children.

.
The amended bill now encourages high school classes on world religions and affirms students' rights to wear religious clothing or jewelry and pray or engage in religious activities during school.

1. In the Bible Jesus said:

Matthew 6:5-6New International Version (NIV)
Prayer

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
