'Gay' bishop doesn't plan to use Bible at inaugural event

According to OneNewsNow, a recent AP story exposes the fact that instead of Rick Warren, the first openly homosexual Episcopal bishop Vicki Gene Robinson will offer a "prayer" at the Lincoln Memorial at an inaugural event for president-elect Barack Obama. The story also points to the fact he won't be using a Bible for this inauguration.

Clark Stevens, a spokesman for the inaugural committee, reportedly said Robinson was invited because he had offered his advice to Obama during the campaign and because of his church work. When asked whether Robinson was included to calm the Warren complaints, he said Robinson is "an important figure in the religious community. We are excited that he will be involved."

Robinson, 61, said both Obama and vice president-elect Joe Biden will attend the event, 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.
