Last week Brack Obama promised to look into Franklin Graham being disinvited from the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer service. There has been no follow-up announcement. | Obama Proclaims National Day of Prayer
by Ethan Cole, The Christian Post
WASHINGTON, DC - “On this day, let us give thanks for the many blessings God has bestowed upon our Nation,” said Obama in the proclamation. “Let us rejoice for the blessing of freedom both to believe and to live our beliefs, and for the many other freedoms and opportunities that bring us together as one Nation.”
The National Day of Prayer was officially created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress, and signed into law by President Harry Truman. Since 1952, every president has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation.
In April, however, federal judge Barbara Crabb ruled that the National Day of Prayer was unconstitutional because it amounts to a call for religious action.
Crabb said her ruling will not bar National Day of Prayer activities until all appeals have been exhausted.
