Controversy sparks over meeting invocation

CAPE CORAL— Cape Coral City Council did not begin with a prayer as it usually does. Instead, self-described atheist Thomas Clark started the meeting with a secular invocation. Even though Clark's invocation was less about 30 seconds long, it has been the subject of a long-running controversy.

"As you conduct this meeting may you show respect for all the citizens of Cape Coral, for your fellow council members and do what is right for our community," said Clark.

Wow, what an evil invocation! ;)
