Wichita City Council meetings start with an invocation, which normally means a religious prayer of some sort, Constitution and efficiency be damned. Michael has jumped through all the right hoops, and will be giving a secular invocation at the July 20 meeting. His invocation will be at 9:00 AM sharp. You can go to support him, or just to watch any fireworks that may ensue.
Council meetings are held at City Hall, in room MS 1-13, on the first floor. Be sure to get there at least a few minutes before 9:00, so you can be seated in time for the invocation.

Sorry, no cool place to eat and talk, but...I did manage to schedule a Secular Invocation for a City Council meeting. The date that I have is Tuesday July 20th, at approximately 9:00am. It will be in City Hall in the City Hall meeting chambers (ground floor on the South end of the building). I would love to see you there! It is a secular invocation. The message is neutral rather than anything that could (would) be construed as nasty. Wichita has not had a secular invocation before.
