Forsyth County Plans to Battle Prayer 'In Jesus Name' Ban
A court-ordered ban on prayers that end “in Jesus’ name?” It’s now a reality for public officials in North Carolina.
On July 29, the state’s Forsyth County Board of Commissioners was dealt a major blow. The 4th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, ruled against the county, granting favor to two county residents who claimed they were offended when they heard the words “in Jesus’ name” prayed aloud during a board meeting.
