It seems that different administrations are going to participate or not participate according to the belief of whoever is president at the time. We all need to deal with it.
Of course. And, nothing in our laws prevents our leaders from practicing their religions. Its just when they do so as politicians, then we sometimes have problems. It is a balance, but one that works.
I never realized that this day of prayer was a national proclomation. To me, that is actually sad. The government should not be the one that had to take the lead in this. It should have, should come from within each and every church, on their own.
