Re: THIS PASTOR HAS GUTS!!!!
Sounds quite different from the Rev. Wright in Chicago we've read about recently. Whether that prayer is 14 years old or not, it would be a nice thing to frame and recall from time to time.
It obviously does offend a lot of people, but so didn't Christ. The reason for both: It challenges status quo (people dislike change), existing power structures (people hate to give up influence), and livelihoods (people dislike source of income being threatened).
