See, unlike most FReepers, Rick Warren is explicitly non-partisan. He's willing to work with anyone respectful of his faith who will help alleviate suffering.

I'm not anti-Warren but I think giving Obama a platform in Warren's church is a huge mistake.

Here's Obama's page on Obama and the issues. In giving Obama this platform, Warren may be providing Obama with credibility in the Christian community (and beyond), which IMO is a huge mistake.

Whoops. I just read my own post and realized that didn't come out right. I meant to say: "Here's a page on Obama and the issues.

Agreed.

At first I hoped this story was similiar to Falwell inviting Ted Kennedy to speak at his university... so the kids could hear the other side.

But IMO this is over the top.

Considering I've heard an elder at my church who is very intrigued by Obama already, I doubt if Warren is going to give him any credibility he doesn't already have.
