Twin Cities area religious leaders and other faithful are planning a number of services and ceremonies this weekend -- including a major event at the state capitol -- to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
But at this Sunday's official ceremony at ground zero in New York, clergy will be noticably absent. And they're not happy about it.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has come under attack by some religious and political leaders for not including clergy members as speakers at the ceremony, according to The New York Times:
Southern Baptists are the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. with over 16 million members.
What do you think? Should religious leaders be excluded from the ceremony at ground zero?
