Taxpayers fund Christian-focused Congressional prayer caucus
c. 2015 USA Today
WASHINGTON — One night a week, the taxpayer-funded congressional Prayer Caucus meets in an ornate room in the U.S. Capitol to defend the role of (mostly) Christian faith and prayer in the U.S. government.
The caucus was created by Rep. Randy Forbes (R., Va.), in 2005, and now includes about 90 members of the House, nearly all Republicans, one U.S. senator, and one paid staff member.
