ABC News: Appeals Court Rules Against Wiccan in Va.

ABC News: Appeals Court Rules Against Wiccan in Va.: "A federal appeals court Thursday ruled against a Wiccan priestess who argued she should be eligible to offer the opening prayer at a county meeting.
Cynthia Simpson sued Chesterfield County after she was excluded from a list of religious leaders allowed to pray at the Board of Supervisors' meetings. In a letter to Simpson, the county explained the invocations 'are traditionally made to a divinity that is consistent with the Judeo-Christian tradition.' "
