Obama inauguration: Warren invokes Jesus’ name
In the midst of all the hoopla about megachurch pastor Rick Warrren doing the invocation at today’s presidential inauguration was this question: Will he invoke the name of Jesus?
Well for the curious, Rev. Rick did just that.
Some people may remember that evangelist Franklin Graham ignited a firestorm when he invoked the name of Jesus in his invocation at the 2001 inauguration of George W. Bush.
Franklin G., son of renowned evangelist Billy Graham, was filling in for his father who was ill at the time.
Franklin Graham refused to retract his words after criticism became public. He later wrote a book about the reasons why Jesus’ name incites and draws ire.
