Chesapeake City Hall to display religious motto
CHESAPEAKE, Va. — The Chesapeake City Council has voted to display the motto “In God We Trust” at City Hall.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that the council approved the display in a 7-0 vote on Tuesday.
Councilwoman Suzy Kelly introduced the proposal, which was backed by the Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation, a Chesapeake-based organization that will donate a plaque bearing the motto.
The organization’s founder, U.S. Rep. Randy Forbes, says the motto will help Americans “recognize that there are priorities bigger than ourselves.”
The Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation has been pushing courthouses, governments and first responders across the nation to adopt the motto.
Councilwoman Kelly says she hopes Chesapeake’s school board will also consider adopting the motto.
