The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly passed a resolution on Oct. 11, revising its policy on the invocation, or prayer, that begins each Assembly meeting.
Under the new policy, the borough clerk will maintain a list of the qualifying religious associations that have submitted requests to deliver the invocation. Only persons or organizations appearing on this list will be allowed to give the invocation.
Borough Assembly President Blaine Gilman and Assembly Member Dale Bagley co-sponsored the resolution.
The controversy over the Borough Assembly invocation began this summer when the invocation was given by a member of the Satanic Temple.
