Email from Commissioner Robinson Regarding March 2 Invocation Invitation

Published Mar 2, 2017

Dear Mr. Ryland,

I originally invited to you to perform a humanist prayer as you requested. This invitation was addressed to you and you alone explicitly to provide a respectful opening to our meeting. 

Unfortunately, your decision to include other people and then to publicize it with a press release has demonstrated a clear intention to disregard not only the invitation but also the respect for prayer regardless of religion or denomination. Therefore, I writing you to inform you that your invitation has been withdrawn for this evening. 

You will not be addressed at the meeting tonight. I will address the prayer myself. 

Grover C Robinson, IV
