CBNNews.com - History will be made Thursday on Capitol Hill when a Hindu chaplain will deliver what is believed to be the first Hindu prayer ever read in the United States Senate.
The religious leader is calling the Senate prayer "an illustrious day for all Americans and a memorable day for Indian Americans when opening prayers from ancient Hindu scriptures will be read in the great hall of democracy."
According to the Chaplain of the U.S. Senate web site, prayer has opened all sessions of the chamber for the past 200 years, "strongly affirming the Senate's faith in God as sovereign lord of our nation."
The web site also lists the office of the chaplain as nonpartisan, nonpolitical, and nonsectarian.
