Rick Warren Has The Most To Lose
What greater honor for a man of God then to be chosen to give the
invocation at the swearing in ceremony for the President of the United
States.
Not just any President, but a leader who has promised to bring us, and the world together, as one.
Millions, no billions will be watching. People of all faiths, persuasions, and orientations. People filled with hope, vision, and the belief that there will be better times for them, their children, and their children's children.
Which Rick Warren will speak in the name of God? The intolerant Rick Warren? Or a man who understands his place in history?
I pray for you, Rick Warren. I pray that you will understand the meaning of intolerance, and man's inhumanity to man. I pray that you will see that we are all God's children. I pray that those on the Left, and Right who shun and oppose your choice will be moved by your words. And, I pray that this experience, and great honor will make you a better Pastor and a better person.
This is your moment, Pastor Warren. Please use it wisely. Please make us all proud.

Is this what some of the uproar is about? You all think Warren is going to get up on stage and talk about the sins of the gay community and to push his argument for no gay marriage? That is really self-centered! Hate the man all you want, but no one in their right mind would take that opportunity to preach intolerance.

Warren's a smart, and decent human being. And he's giving a two minute speech at a Presidential inauguration.
I seriously doubt he is going to have time for anything controversial, let alone something as irrelevant as homosexuality in any sense.

I'm not concerned that he will be divisive. I'm hoping he will be open, and healing. Just a thought.
