Prayer Walk Planned For BA Casino Sunday

Lawmakers and courts haven't helped yet, so some Broken Arrow residents are calling on a higher power to stop a casino from moving into their neighborhood.

They're holding a prayer walk Sunday at the site of the Red Clay Casino.

Organizers are asking folks not to bring any banners or posters, stressing that the gathering is not a protest. They simply want to pray in silence for a resolution.

Anyone wishing to participate is asked to arrive at the building site, 111th and 129th East Avenue, at 2:30 p.m. for prayer beginning at 3 p.m. Horns will be sounded as the silent prayer begins and 3 p.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m.

The Kialegee Tribal Town says it needs the casino to become economically self-sufficient.
