First Openly Gay Bishop Delivers Closing Easter Speech, Takes the Lord Name in Vain

First Openly Gay Bishop Delivers Closing Easter Speech, Takes the Lord Name in Vain - dailycaller.com

Excerpt from this Article:

"President Obama tapped the first openly gay Episcopal Bishop to lead the closing Easter Prayer, Monday.  According to Talking Points Memo, Obama unexpectedly called on Gene Robinson to lead the closing prayer.  Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church, tweeted about the honor, ironically taking the Lord’s name in vain in the process.  POTUS ‘preaches’ at the Easter prayer breakfast. Then, out of the blue, asks ME to close with prayer. OMG!” he tweeted with a picture."
