The pastor at Winter Park Christian Church upset some Senate Democrats during the morning prayer Thursday when he asked the Lord to give lawmakers the courage to vote not according to cultural acceptance, but according to whats right before you.
Sen. Pat Steqdman (CGA)
Sen. Pat Steadman, who is gay, said the speech crossed a line but Republicans disagreed. Some said during the decade when Democrats were in charge there were some prayers they didnt care for. If that were the case, Steadman said, Republicans should have said something at the time.
The morning prayer, the Denver Democrat said, should not be something that divides us.
Senate President Bill Cadman, R-Colorado Springs, said he didnt see a problem with the prayer from Pastor Doug Toller.
He said let your faith guide you, Cadman said. Isnt that what we do, on good days and bad?
Toller could not be reached for comment.

Cadman and Steadman have a strong working relationship. During Cadmans opening day speech he lit a candle in honor of Steadmans late partner, Dave Misner, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2012.
They pair met in Cadmans office after the Senate adjourned to discuss Steadmans concerns about the prayer.
