      Please keep our prayers. They’re not compulsory for any MP. As a Christian I find them so valuable to focus on what all of us, from all political parties, are trying to do. I need to hear the “still small voice of calm”.https://twitter.com/tracey_crouch/status/1086604007227961346 …

      TBH I'm really only a big occasion church goer but I love, value & draw strength from the parliamentary prayers said before we sit each day and Rev Rose has an amazing knack of saying something apposite. It would be awful to see them scrapped. pic.twitter.com/prYl1exA1X

      The proposal isn't to stop you praying. You can pray if you want but do it out of the formal sitting. Religious liberty is a broad concept, not a narrow one: holding prayers in the formal sitting is imposing them on those who don't wish to take part

      That’s the whole point. They are NOT imposed. It is private, not televised as the formal sittings are. Many MPs can and do choose to enter the Chamber only after prayers are finished. We are talking about 3-4 minutes only.

      They are imposed if they are taking place in the Chamber when all MPs are summoned to the sitting. Forcing non-believers out of part of Parliamentary sessions makes non-believers lesser citizens

      In 20 months of being an MP and attending all sessions this has never happened. They are always optional. Please give an example of when they are “forced” on MPs during a sitting?

          By putting Christian prayers first it effectively acts to allow Christian MPs preferential access to seating. We know many who put in their prayer card simply to have a shot at taking part in the debate which follows! Why should religion be embedded in Parliament in this way?

          So everyone else has to wait outside for you to finish? And once you're done they can take whatever seats are left over? Hmmm...🤔

          By happening in the Chamber. All MPs are summoned to attend. On Monday the sitting starts at 2:30. It doesn't start at 2:35. A diligent MP who attends at 2:30 is forced to attend prayers.

          Yeah but you get a better spot if you go to the prayers don’t you? Should keep religion out of politics!
