Reports finds some MHKs feel uncomfortable and conflicted by custom
Prayers could be removed from the start of House of Keys and Tynwald sittings.
A report from the House of Keys Management and Members' Standards Committee is recommending the custom be dropped to reflect the changes in modern society.
The document shows some MHKs feel uncomfortable, and conflicted, by the inclusion of prayers while one MHK described the practice as outdated.
Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson, who chairs the committee says it's important everyone feels included regardless of their faith:
