Maybe they did pray

To the editor: I write in response to the letter that questioned whether a certain legislative outcome would have differed, had senators prayed on the matter before voting. I wonder, did the authors consider the possibility that exactly such is what happened? Tom Nicholson Troy, Va.

Lack of prayer isn’t surprising

Dear Editor: Jim and Donna Belote should not be surprised by the lack of prayer in Congress (“Senators should pray before they vote,” letters, Aug. 12).
