A Plaintive Pagan in Huntsville, Alabama
A Wiccan man from Huntsville, Alabama, was uninvited from delivering the opening invocation at a City Council chamber meeting after community members reportedly expressed concerns about his religion.
"I gave the invocation earlier this year, at the time they did not ask me what my faith affiliation was, but when they did this time and I told them 'Wiccan,' I was told I was no longer invited to give it," Blake Kirk told WHNT News 19 Thursday night.
"It is not right, the city can not pick and choose what faiths they want to support and allow to speak and give the prayer," he added.
