  • Now Rick Warren is in REAL Trouble

    According to OneNewsNow, an organization only slightly less paranoid than WorldNetDaily, Rick Warren is praising President-Elect Obama for inviting Bishop Gene Robinson to pray at the inauguration as well.

    After supporting Proposition 8 in California and then accepting the President-Elect’s invitation, it’s possible that nobody will be happy with Rick Warren any more.

    They note particularly Robinson’s statement that he will not use the Bible:

    Robinson has said he will not use the Bible when praying, and states “I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer.”

    This is one of my problems with all this. I would prefer to see many people sincerely praying according to their own traditions and practices than an attempt to have everyone pray generically. More accurately, the whole thing bothers me.

  • Let Them Pray Together

    Bruce Alderman has a wonderful suggestion for Bishop Gene Robinson and Rev. Rick Warren:

    Personally, what I’d like to see is for Robinson and Warren to sit down and say a prayer together. This issue shouldn’t tear the church apart, regardless of who is right.

    If nothing else, we could call it loving enemies and praying for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44). Perhaps it could even be better than that!
