I want to say that we begin our meeting with an invocation, which includes expressions and inspiration followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The invocation is by the council member and is intended to solemnize our proceedings. We celebrate all of us, but we also understand that there is diversity in what we do with our faith, and we make sure that everyone has the opportunity to be proud of whatever faith they choose, and we will do that.
