Bishop Gene Robinson to speak at inauguration.
He should give the prayer instead of Rick Warren.

3. Definition of "we"?
I didn't and, as I am a cube-rat on my break, I quite possibly would have missed this, until later, or maybe even entirely.

4. It's just that there are three separate threads about it right here in GLBT, at least 3 on GD-P,
several more in GD, and the one in LBN. None of them are discussing it - just posting it. It's hard to know which one to choose to post in.

2. At the Lincoln Memorial. PE Obama and VPE Biden will be there
Robinson, 61, said both Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden will attend the even, and Obama is expected to speak. As for himself, Robinson said he doesn't yet know what he'll say, but he knows he won't use a Bible.

"While that is a holy and sacred text to me, it is not for many Americans," Robinson said. "I will be careful not to be especially Christian in my prayer. This is a prayer for the whole nation."

Robinson said his prayer will be reflective of the times.


Sounds very interesting; I can't wait to hear it.
