Patrick lluiben Govt by News Item The government of British Columbia has Just Installed a lie prayer room la Its Legislature for use of Legislature staff and members of the public The room Is sponsored by Prayer Canada a denominational Christina prayer group which aims to establish prayer rooms In every legislature and city hall In Canada Says spokesman Ray Jensen We want people across the country to pray or governments Well Once again Canada Is on the catting edge of an exciting new democratic trend From government by Gallup poll weve Just advanced to government by Dial A Prayer Now far be It from me to belittle the value of prayer And II prayer Is valuable In our private lives It stands to reason that if should be valuable In public life as well SUU I remain kind of Iffy about this whole plan Right off the bat theres an unsettling ambiguity in that phrase prayer for governments Does Mr Jensen mean that we should pray on behalf of governments or are we actually urged lo pray for governments Obviously theres crucial of the past few federal administrations Is a bit like praying for hemorrhoids But we can probably assume that Mr Jensen means on behalf of rather than for In

argue that our leaders couldnt do any worse If they abandoned legislating entirely and Just sat around In a circle singing Rock of Ages Holding prayer meetings rather than debates would certainly add dignity and decorum to the House of Commons And when dealing with difficult could add an Impressive touch of Old Testament solemnity by sacrificing a fatted pollster There would be other benefits as well Entrusting everything to prayer would make for much shorter white papers The white paper suggesting ways of reducing unemployment Pray lefJcUT Pray bard Suggesting ways to convince the Americans to reduce acid rain Pray real bard Best of all govemmentby prayer would give us as Individual voters direct access to someone who actually knows what doing As our leaders stumbled about In an attempt
