by Andrew Kirell | 12:12 pm, April 14th, 2014 http://www.mediaite.com/online/obama-selects-first-openly-gay-episcopal-bishop-to-lead-easter-prayer/ President Obama pulled a surprise move Monday at the White House’s Easter Prayer Breakfast when he selected Gene Robinson to lead the closing prayer. Robinson is famously known as the first openly gay Episcopal bishop. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robinson, 66, became diocesan bishop of New Hampshire in March 2004. He retired in January 2013 and is currently a senior fellow at the progressive Center for American Progress.

The commercial ended with the narrator saying, "Whoever you are, God loves you. No exceptions!" The moment I heard it I knew what they meant by that, and seeing this is just more confirmation to me of what they were getting at.

I've been in an Episcopal "church" a couple of times - it was during my unsaved days, but nonetheless...WEIRD, VERY is how I describe it! |
