I expected Obama to pull something like that. While I disagree with MR. Warren theologically (to the point I left the Baptist Church for Reformed) he , is in my opinion one of the architects of the shift in the American Evangelical Church from social conservatism to center Left. The fact MR Warren and his beliefs a la Purpose Driven ____ are closer to the social Gospel.. The Irony is the gay constituent may drive the evangelical back to the Republican Party.
