Pro-Life Rick Warren to Give Invocation at Obama Inauguration
December 17, 2008

Pro-life pastor Rick Warren will give the invocation at President-Elect Barack Obama’s inauguration. It makes a whole lot of sense. Even though Warren and Obama disagree on the life issue, they do see eye to eye on many social justice issues. This move is also classic Obama because it is a signal to religious conservatives that he’s willing to bring in both sides to the faith discussion in this country. Obama has never shied away from that.

The benediction will be led by Reverend Dr. Joseph E. Lowery. The Civil Rights leader seems to be the perfect pick on such an historic day in this nation’s history. Watch Reverend Lowery preach with Barack Obama watching here.

The full program is below: (by the way, The Brody File was not asked to take part in the ceremony. I wanted to read some of the "Best of The Brody File" blog entries but they said thanks but no thanks)

Of course he would get an invitation, he's one of the most influential pastors in America, if not THE most influential. It'd be dumb NOT to invite him, especially since he hosted a debate at his church.

I'd do the invocation. What an honor. Believe the President or not. Daniel didn't believe like Nebuchanezzar.

Good one. For that matter, why wasn't it Louis Farry-Conman.

I wish Rick Warren would get the HG, then while he prays for BO, he grabs him by the head in old time Apostoic fassion and shakes the HG into the fellow.... along with some good sense concerning supreme court justices.

I think Rick is slowly skirting to the liberal side. He's probably already there but has to make this a slower process for the sake of his ministry base

I think that he will have to realize that he is in a no-win situation with some people and just pretty much get over it. If he picks a Wright/Farrakan type person he'll get roasted...then when he doesn't he gets roasted.

True. But I'd like to think he'll take the roasting from the Wright/Farahkan crowd over the alternative.
