I remember a SCOTUS decision during his brief Presidency that stopped me from being forced to say Christian prayers in a public elementary school.
“Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country”
What exactly makes this Christian? The fact that it’s in English?
Sounds like a translation of Modeh Ani to me.
“I acknowledge before You, living and eternal King that You have returned my soul to me with mercy, great is Your faithfulness.”
CTL, were there other prayers that they forced you to say in your school?
