Robinson to invoke "God of many understandings" at Obama invocation

AmP reader Ed listened to Gene Robinson on NPR:

Robinson a) assures the interviewer that he was not selected to offset the Warren selection and b) remarks how shocked he was that the invocations of the last 30-40 years are "aggressively Christian." He has no intention of invoking the name of Jesus; rather, he will invoke the "god of many understandings."

The summary from All Things Considered:

"The first openly gay Episcopal bishop, Gene Robinson, has been chosen to deliver the invocation at Barack Obama's kickoff inaugural event Sunday. Robinson says he doesn't think Obama picked him to balance the selection of evangelical pastor Rick Warren, who angered gay-rights supporters with his support of the ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage in California."

On a related note, I read in a local Washington paper today what I found confirmed online: "For the first time, a gay and lesbian band will be marching in a presidential inauguration." (They are actually LGBT, if it matters.)

So let's review: Robinson and gay bands are welcome, but Catholic clergy aren't even invited.

Is this the change we need?
