Another first! Is there nothing the Lightworker cannot do? Another first — woman to give inaugural sermon
The Rev. Sharon Watkins will deliver the sermon at the traditional National Prayer Service on January 21, the day after Barack Obama is sworn in as president, the Presidential Inaugural Committee announced Sunday.
Watkins, the general minister and president of the 700,000-member church Disciples of Christ, will be the first woman to deliver the sermon at the inaugural coronation event.
It takes place at the National Cathedral in northwest Washington.
When it was the first Hispanic Attorney General, first Black Secretary of State, first woman, and Black woman to boot, National Security Advisor, followed by first woman, and Black to boot, Secretary of State, the media yawned.
Funny how the Left is finding no problem with mixing religion and politics now, eh?
So, who is the Reverend Sharon Watkins? Well, since the article fails to point it out, she is anti-Iraq war and anti-torture. No mention if she is ant-sawing heads off and anti-suicide bomber in a civilian pizza parlor.
She and her church have not taken a stand on gays, but they are “incredibly diverse politically, theologically, and socially” and “Her appeal is that she delivers a message of unity and inclusivity and tolerance and hope — and those are all central themes we’ve heard from the president-elect.” I always thought they were supposed to be about the teachings of Jesus and the Bible.
