Rick Warren, Rick Warren, Rick Warren.. The guy's EVERYWHERE. And, on January 20th he'll be in DC praying. Our own Rick 4.O Warren has been selected to offer the inaugural invocation. There's a great deal of political uproar about the choice. The gay community is furious because of Warren's support of Prop 8. Conservatives Christians are grumpy because they feel like Warren shouldn't be blessing an Obama administration. We think everyone needs to be quite. It's not politics, it's not policy, it's prayer. Warren isn't giving a speech. He's not being offered the podium to talk about his views. He isn't being rewarded for his politics. Rick Warren is being asked to pray to God on behalf of the new President and the behalf of the country at a crucial moment. Yes, it's flattering but it really isn't about Warren. It's about God.

so how about that research position??
Yes, it is prayer and it is God. But the person who is delivering the prayer to God on behalf of the USA is someone who, on his website, said gays are not accepted.
If I'm going to have someone lead a prayer, I want him/her to truly embrace those his/she is praying on behalf of and with.
