On the same day that the House swore in its first Muslim women member Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, D-Philadelphia, freshman Rep. Stephanie Borowicz, R-Clinton County, stepped to the House rostrum to offer a prayer proclaiming her Christian beliefs and how the nation has forgotten Jesus and asking for forgiveness.
