[Pen-l] a fateful choice?

["Jim Devine" <jdevine03@xxxxxxxxx>]

from SLATE:
>The LA [TIMES] and NY [TIMES] both dedicate stories in their inside pages to news that the Rev. Rick Warren, author of The Purpose-Driven Life, will deliver the invocation at Obama's inauguration. The NYT says that the role positions Warren "to succeed Billy Graham as the nation's pre-eminent minister." The choice immediately raised the ire of gay rights groups that are angry about Warren's support for California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriages. The director of a gay rights organization characterized the decision to include Warren in the inauguration as a "slap in the face to millions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people who donated for, worked for and helped elect Barack Obama president."<

Maybe this is a response to the "letter" by the right-wing Focus on
the Family (published in the recent HARPERS) written as if it were
from a "Christian" in 2012 about how Obama was in effect going to
de-Christianize the US?
