Openly gay bishop to deliver first inauguration event invocation
(CNN) — The first openly gay priest ordained by a major Christian denomination will deliver the invocation at the kickoff inauguration event Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial.
The Rev. Gene Robinson, Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire, has accepted an invitation issued by the Obama team prior to the announcement of the Rev. Rick Warren’s selection to deliver the invocation at the president-elect’s swearing-in, Politico reported Monday.
Robinson had been a critic of Warren’s role, calling his inclusion in the event “really, really unfortunate” because of the California minister’s support for California’s Prop. 8, which barred same-sex marriage.
“It’s about this particular venue and the role that he has in praying for all of America, and I’m just not sure he’d pray to God the same way I would,” Robinson [said] last month.

Hey TE:
Yes, this is awful. How bad it feels!
Every young person around the world who watches that inauguration event will no doubt see the AmericaIsrael, “ media glorify that perverse man’s character. Being elected President has put Barack Obama in a position to influence young people for good, but with this choice, he will be using it to do much evil. What is God going to do to this country? His silence does not imply His consent. he told the sinners of I held my peace, and you thought I was altogether such a one as you” (Ps. 50:21). How many people mistake God’s patience with God’s approval!
Years ago, a comedian got a lot of laughs when he commented on the number of sodomites out west. He said, “If God doesn’t destroy California, he’ll owe Sodom an apology.” It’s not just California now, and when God finishes his work of judgment (whenever He chooses to do it), He will owe no apologies.
How we need this to happen: “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”
Who among our young people is on the Lord’s side?
