Walter, not sure if you ever got a satisfactory response to your question regarding the constitutionality of prayer services being held at the US Capital building. In any event, these sorts of establishment clause cases have actually typically been decided based on the free speech clause of the 1st amendment. Bible study, prayer groups, church services, etc. held at public facilities have all been upheld in the last 10 to 15 years under a free speech theory. Hope that helps.

Nope… no religious group should be holding any services in the Capitol Building… period.
