Well. Guess What?? It never seems to end. Latest fiasco, of all things, concerns the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast held on May 5th, 2005.
This is supposed to be a peaceful, prayer, and breakfast meeting. All dominations are welcome. This a free country and one of our rights is the right to worship as we please.
The St. Charles Chamber of Commerce invited a faith called Bahai to come and speak.
But hold on! A builder of homes in St. Charles County, Mr. Tom Hughes, was to be the emcee. Well, guess what? When he heard about Bahai being there he cancelled two tables he had paid for and refused to emcee the breakfast. Is Mr. Hughes denying these people to speak about their faith? Now what does this say about Mr. Hughes? Freedom of Religion is one of our rights. You have no right to deny this.
It is your right to choose not to emcee the breakfast. Your attitude toward the Bahai Faith Religion is shameful.
