Invocation speakers July 2016 to June 2017 for Jacksonville City Council meetings

Council member Morgan was the chaplain this fiscal year (2016-2017). She achieved a certain level of diversity, yes? I applaud her efforts. Do you? I hope future city council chaplains will either do away with the invocation period or work harder to invite speakers from diverse groups. Jacksonville is a very diverse town.
