The Coolidge City Council, during a hastily called meeting Monday, voted unanimously to back away from a proposal to allow only Christians to pray before council meetings.
The council in the Pinal County community garnered national attention last week when it voted to consider the proposal, which was widely criticized as unconstitutional.
Councilman Robert Huelson, who authored the resolution to limit prayer to Christian groups, spoke before he cast his vote Monday in opposition to his proposal.
