God bless laywers
I seem to be getting a lot of blogging inspiration from the radio lately.
I heard a story this morning about two seminary students praying outside of a strip club in downtown Detroit.
Basically, it was just two kids praying, that’s all, no protesting, no screaming or yelling, just quietly praying. It was bothering the patrons and the dancers and the club owner so much, they called the police.
The police came and told the seminarians they had to leave the premises, the owner of the property doesn’t want them there.
So… the seminarians wrote to an attorney and the attorney started a letter writing campaign with the city to try and enable the seminarians to do their prayer vigil without harrasement from the police.
In the meantime the seminarians are back at school and more of their fellow classmates are getting excited about what they’re doing and decide to join them.
The attorney is able to secure a letter from the City of Detroit that states the semanarians are able to pray whereever they want without the threat of harrasement by the police.
Now there are 12 students praying outside the strip club and once again the owner calls the police. The police officer tells the students to leave and they show him the letter they have from the City that states they have the right to pray here.
The police officer then goes to the club owner, and says the kids have a right to be here and leave them alone.
What a blessing that the attorney they contacted was able to secure that right for them to pray there.
