Rick Warren, 'gay' advocate team up to host Obama-McCain

From WorldNetDaily, an excerpt:

"The upcoming joint appearance by Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain at Rick Warren's evangelical Saddleback Church is co-sponsored by a left-leaning group led by a Unitarian-Universalist minister who once headed her denomination's homosexual advocacy office.
Meg Riley is the board president of
Faith in Public Life, whose board members include other theological liberals, including a pro-abortion Muslim leader and a Jewish rabbi, reported OneNewsNow.

The group's stated vision hints at its challenge to the influence of the so-called religious right, saying it "envisions a country in which diverse religious voices for justice and the common good consistently impact public policy; and those who use religion as a tool of division and exclusion do not dominate public discourse."

The
blog Watchers Lamp noted Faith in Public Life offers a list of faith-based groups on its website that promote the homosexual-rights agenda.

Warren told OneNewsNow, a Christian Internet site, he's not troubled by the association with a group at odds with his church's conservative evangelical theology.
"Really we just are ... co-hosting [the event]," Warren said, noting Faith in Public Life came up with the idea.


"Actually, we're in total control of the format, the program, the questions," he said. "It's at our church; and so it's not their event, it's our event."



Let's see: Warren is in control of the format, the program and the questions. Care to guess how many hardball questions will be asked about "gay marriage"? Will Obama's feet be held to the fire about his views on abortion and his voting against the Born Alive Protection Act?

Nah, I don't think so either. But you can read the article here.
