Scottsdale will bar the Satanic Temple from leading a scheduled prayer at a City Council meeting in July, city officials announced Monday.
Scottsdale informed the Satanic Temple’s Arizona chapter, which is based in Tucson, that only “representatives from institutions that have a substantial connection to the Scottsdale community” will be allowed to give the invocation, city spokesman Kelly Corsette said in an e-mail.
