Comments on: “We are One” Prayer http://toddblog.net/2009/01/19/we-are-one-prayer/ It's pretty fun if you say it fast Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:22:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Becky http://toddblog.net/2009/01/19/we-are-one-prayer/comment-page-1/#comment-1176 Becky Thu, 22 Jan 2009 15:52:40 +0000 http://toddblog.net/?p=555#comment-1176 You're right, Todd. I think it was Paul who said he didn't much care who said it as long as Jesus was being preached, right? We certainly can find Truth in this prayer. I was just disappointed in Obama's blatant effort to appease anger over his choice of Rick Warren by choosing someone like this guy. You’re right, Todd.

But there have been some pretty incredible, very Biblical statements, that have been made by people who I don't find much agreement with – aside from the aforementioned words. I don't know that I would want to be led in prayer by him either, but I do think the things that he said were good. Becky, I understand what you’re saying.

My brother told me that Bishop Robinson (I think he was the one who offered this prayer, right?) said he had been reading inaugural prayers through history and was "horrified" at how "specifically and aggressively Christian they were." He also said "I am very clear that this will not be a Christian prayer, and I won't be quoting Scripture. The texts I hold as sacred are not sacred texts for all Americans, and I want all people to feel that this is their prayer." I realize I'm basing my opinion on heresay, but if that is true, this prayer makes me uncomfortable. A lot of what he said in this prayer I agree with, but I have a hard time being led in prayer by a man who feels that way.
