            In 1973, Homer Anderson (the man Homer’s Coffee House is named in honor of) proposed a plan to begin Mayor’s Prayer Breakfasts in cities throughout Kansas and Missouri. Homer visited with mayors throughout the region and asked them to let Kansas City CBMC sponsor Annual Mayor Prayer Breakfasts in their cities.

            Over the next few years many such events were begun. Other CBMC areas followed our lead and began Mayor’s Prayer Breakfasts as well. Nationally, CBMC sponsors Mayor’s Prayer Breakfasts in St Louis, Houston, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Los Angeles, and many other cities.

            The purpose, then as now, was to present the claims of Jesus Christ to the business and professional community in a non-threatening and open environment. The guidelines were that there would be no mention of political parties or denominations. We would discourage politicians and clergy from speaking and the main speakers would be business people or athletes who had had a significant encounter with Christ.

            Now, thirty-four years later, Kansas City CBMC is still involved in about a dozen of these events each year. Some of the cities with Kansas City CBMC sponsored mayor prayer events are: Overland Park, Kansas City, KS, Independence, Blue Springs, and Topeka. We are not involved with the Kansas City, MO Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast. Our purpose and guidelines have remained unchanged. The main challenge has been to keep politics out of the events and stay focused on God. Only in recent years have we begun to receive resistance from a small minority who believe that important issues, such as spirituality, should not be discussed in a public meeting. Others believe that there should be zero connection between anything spiritual and anything related to the government. This is certainly not what our founding fathers intended when they wrote the establishment clause.
