TN Baptist Convention Mobile Minaret to Ring Hypocrites to Election Year Courthouse Prayers

The Tennessee Baptist Convention is rolling out the plans for its 2014 "Disobey Jesus' Command Not to Pray in Public Like the Hypocrites" prayer rally tour at court houses across Tennessee during the upcoming local and state election period - there will also be a ballot referendum question on the November ballot in Tennnessee pertaining to legal abortion (ironicly, Jesus explicitly stated nothing toward prohibition while very explicitly commanding his followers not to pray in public):

Jesus actually commanded his believers to not pray in public:

Matthew 6:5-6 King James Version (KJV)

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
