No souls were harmed when the Indiana Senate session opened Tuesday:
Sen. Patricia L. Miller, R-Indianapolis, opened the Senate's proceedings Tuesday with a nonsectarian prayer, following threats last month of a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana.
The prayer lasted about a minute and did not mention Jesus Christ or any other deity by name.
ACLU attorney Ken Falk apparently wasn't offended, so I guess the state can get on with its business now.
