Borough may scrap religious invocations before meetings

An Alaska borough will consider scrapping invocations before meetings as a case challenging the policy moves through court.
The Peninsula Clarion reports the third such ordinance in a year is expected to be introduced in the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly on Tuesday.
Policy currently allows invocations from members of religious organizations that have established local presences and regular meetings.
Chaplains serving organizations like fire departments and hospitals can also give invocations.
