Rep. Barney Frank isn’t so happy about Obama picking Rick Warren

Jennifer McClelland | RSS | 0 Comments

Rick Warren is an evangelical pastor that wrote the best selling book “The Purpose Driven Life.” He is the senior pastor and founder of the fourth largest church in the country. He is also opposed to gay marriage and is a pro-lifer.

President-elect Obama picked Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2009. It really made a lot of pro-choice and gay rights supporters angry. One of those is openly gay Representative Barney Frank of Mass.

Frank said, “If he was inviting the Rev. Warren to participate in a forum and to make a speech, that would be a good thing, but being singled out to give the prayer at the inauguration is a high honor. It has traditionally given as a mark of great respect. And, yes, I think it was wrong to single him out for this mark of respect.”

Rick Warren was a very poor choice in my opinion also. His church and he have given so many statements about homosexuality, including banning gay people from membership at his church, he is just too controversial.
