Senator Hillary Clinton (D-New York) will join Rick Warren at his California church this month for an AIDS conference.
Warren says he has invited several other presidential candidates from both parties to attend his third annual Global Summit on AIDS, but Senator Clinton is the only one, so far, to confirm. According to a press release, others who have expressed interest and currently are dealing with scheduling issues include GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Rudy Giuliani, and Democrats John Edwards and Senator Barak Obama (D-Illinois).
According to Warren, "Inviting politicians from different perspectives to the Summit is not a political decision -- it is a humanitarian and Christian action." The Summit is scheduled for Nov. 27-Dec. 1 at Saddleback Church, Warren's church in Lake Forest, California.
Obama was one of the speakers during Warren's Global Summit on AIDS last year, as was Senator Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) who last month withdrew from the GOP presidential competition.
I always wondered how the Democratic candidates got away with speaking at churches. Hasn’t anyone ever challenged this practice?
Not to my knowledge.
Democrats hate religion until its time for an election cycle.
Those are scary words...

Ever been on a missions trip?

If you want to walk into either situation with your agenda, and giving the pastor or coach a ration of crap when you are told that “we are doing ____ now”, you will probably (and should) find yourself in a situation when you get every chance to work your own agenda and no one is around to hear your brilliant ideas.
For that matter, try acting like the boss and/or telling your boss “no” a few times today and see where that gets ya...
You have no idea why I posted what I did. Your series of condescending questions scream that loud and clear.
