Gaithersburg Prayer Hour Draws Tired Drivers
Grace Methodist Church on Rockville Pike hosts a 5 to 7 pm prayer hour for weary motorists. Rev. Andrew Leigh Gunn says the urban rat race justifies the service with no formal rites, offering individual prayer in a dim church interior. The 800-member Grace Church also features a sign reading Thou shalt not Park near a neighboring former supermarket. Gunn, a Yale Divinity School graduate, leads local clergy and has fought slot machines in a prior Charles County church.

Democratic groups pressured to repeal, while Kathryn Diggs was absent. Critics called the act contrary to American freedoms, but supporters argued it protected employees from unfair admin actions.
