Pastor Defends Invitation to Obama - AOL News
Obama did not respond to interview requests. But he issued a written statement saying while he respects differing views on abortion, he hopes for unity "to honor the entirety of Christ's teachings by working to eradicate the scourge of AIDS, poverty and other challenges we all can agree must be met.
So Pastor Rick Warren, Mr. Purpose Driven Life, has invited a pro-abortion person, Sen. Barack Obama, to an AIDS summit. Well, GOOD! Unity over fighting AIDS is needed and it is possible for Christians to have differing views on abortion. I'm pro-life but I don't consider that to be an essential in determinig what is orthodox Christianity.
