WESTMINSTER, Md. (AP) — The elected leaders of a rural Maryland county voted unanimously Thursday to revert to a disputed prayer policy following a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing clergy to invoke specific deities in opening invocations at government meetings.

Carroll County Commissioners still face a First Amendment challenge from critics who say the high court ruling doesn’t address the practice of having opening prayers said by the elected commissioners themselves, some of whom routinely invoke Jesus Christ. The plaintiffs in a pending federal lawsuit say those prayers violate the Constitution’s prohibition of establishment of a state religion because the prayers are said by government officials. It says that amounts to coercion.
