It's about his stance on abortion - even though you are pro-abortion, you would never call a woman who had had an abortion a Nazi, like Warren - and the subservient role of the wife to her husband, or the murder of the President of Iran as political tool.<BR/><BR/>Obama may have said what he said about Gay Marriage, but I'm willing to bet he would never have supported Prop 8 or any of the other agenda items of Warren.<BR/><BR/>This is why I'm opposed to Warren as the pastor to give the invocation.<BR/><BR/>I hope this is helpful to you.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-1009600898778366122009-01-03T10:02:00.000-05:002009-01-03T10:02:00.000-05:00Mother Kaeton,I'm definitely writing Rick Warren, ...Mother Kaeton,<BR/><BR/>I'm definitely writing Rick Warren, and expressing concern for his support of Prop. 8. I'm totally supportive of marriage equality.<BR/><BR/> Along with this I'm going to share my personal witness of faith in Jesus Christ, and appreciation for his good work with AIDS orphans in Africa.<BR/><BR/>But, in all honesty, I can't see a huge difference in his view in much of this, and Obama's. I really can't.<BR/><BR/>I've heard Obama state publically that he is not supportive of gay marriage, either. And, a real majority of his African-American constituency all feel the same way.<BR/><BR/>So, I guess I wonder why people expected Obama to be different.<BR/><BR/>To my mind, we should be doing everything possible to find, and build common ground with these folks to make an impact in their thinking. <BR/><BR/>I have serious doubts that writing alternate invocations is going to do it. I really do. :(<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Grace.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018475588969974790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-78923581350125132432008-12-30T23:15:00.000-05:002008-12-30T23:15:00.000-05:00I don't have a blog but I copied and pasted and se...I don't have a blog but I copied and pasted and sent it around via e-mail and asked those that received it to please pass it along.<BR/>Here's a link to another HP posting from last week-about Warren and Bishop Akinola.<BR/>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bruce-wilson/warren-endorsed-nigerian_b_153412.htmlVTcronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741867296724712013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-17057851241649847622008-12-30T12:20:00.000-05:002008-12-30T12:20:00.000-05:00Are you kidding me, QuakerDave?
