A Tale of Two Prayers...

Today we have a new President. Part of the services is the prayers. I know of two official sanctioned prayers for the inaugural event.

1. Rick Warren. I heard good things on this. It was a Christian prayer.

2. Gene Robinson. G.R. is the first openly gay Episcopalian bishop. He was the catalyst for the Episcopalians splitting up.

I have neither read nor heard G.R.'s prayer that he was to offer at another site as part of the festivities. Although in an earlier interview he promised it to be 'non-biblical, non-Christian'. It would be generic so that all people regardless of their beliefs could agree with it.

Here's my question: If you don't subscribe to a Christian theology and practice why be part of a denomination that at least claims Christianity?

Plus, do we really believe people will respect anyone who dips their colors for the holy grail of public consensus? Give me a break.
