COUNTY COMMISSION INVOCATION 3-1-17

You may notice something different at tomorrow’s Escambia County commission meeting. The Humanists of West Florida will deliver the invocation which will include thoughts from The Satanic Temple West Florida Chapter. For the past several years, there has been ongoing tension between various local municipalities and The Satanic Temple. David Suhor, a representative of The Satanic Temple, says local elected bodies have violated federal law by refusing to let his organization provide an invocation based on its non-traditional beliefs. Suhor has given invocations at both the city council and the county commission in past years, but has drawn protestors. The county commission meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Thursday at 221 Palafox Place in Pensacola.
