President Obama invited a lesbian pastor to read scripture at the White House’s Easter Prayer Breakfast this week – which one theologian says is actually completely in line with the president’s religious beliefs.Jasmine Beach-Farrara didn’t hide her sexual orientation when she got up to read: “Greetings from Asheville, North Carolina, and also from the LGBT community of North Carolina, which I’m proud to be a part of and honored to serve through my ministry.”
Worldview expert Alex McFarland says the Christian community is getting tired of being poked in the eye by this president.
“Inviting a pro-gay activist to speak at a White House prayer breakfast is just one more in a long line of very public examples whereby the president has made it very clear that he not only wants to reshape America, but really [wants to] try to redefine Christianity,” says McFarland.
Theologian and attorney Abe Hamilton of American Family Association says Obama is actually being true to his faith. He says after 20 years of sitting under Jeremiah Wright in Chicago, the president believes in liberation theology – a heresy that distorts the essence of the gospel.
