KINGMAN – There’s going to be a slight change at Tuesday’s Kingman’s City Council meeting. For the first time in a long time (if not THE first time), a non-religious invocation will be given before the start of the evening’s business. Humanist Luke Douglas will be delivering a secular message from Phoenix via Zoom. The announcement was made on the Kingman Freethinkers Forum Facebook page Wednesday and the response among the secular and atheist community was ecstatic. “I’m excited,” said freethinker J’aime Morgaine. “It’s wonderful that all voices in Mohave County can express peace and compassion in different ways.” Kingman…
