COEUR d’ALENE — Sen. Steve Vick, R-Dalton Gardens, said he tried to stop a Hindu invocation at the Senate opening today, but Senate leadership was allowing it anyway.
Senate Pro-Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, confirmed last week that Hindu statesman Rajan Zed will be giving the invocation this morning at 9 a.m. Pacific time.
His office re-confirmed Monday that the invocation would proceed despite some opposition.
Vick said he is opposed to the Hindu invocation because it undermines the Judeo-Christian basis upon which our society was built.
