The selection of Robinson for the opening party on Sunday came after weeks of criticism over Mr Obama's choice of conservative pastor Rick Warren to deliver the religious invocation on Tuesday, January 20, the day Mr Obama is sworn in to office.

Robinson, who is the first openly gay bishop in the Anglican Communion, will pray at the star-studded event to be broadcast on national television from the Lincoln Memorial on January 18, the inaugural committee said in a statement.

"Our intention is to root the event in history, celebrating the moments when our nation has united to face great challenges and prevail," said executive producer George Stevens, Jr.

"We will combine historical readings by prominent actors with music from an array of the greatest stars of today."

Robinson, who announced his inclusion in the event in an email to friends that was printed in part by US media, said he believed his role was an important one.

"It's important for any minority to see themselves represented in some way," Robinson said in an interview with the Concord Monitor, a newspaper in the state of New Hampshire where he worships.

That pic of him pretending to be a bishop with his homosexual lover is gross.

There has to be a special place in hell for this man who so blatantly and shamelessly mocks God.

Hello Barney!!! I'm in sweetie. Messiah Obama is letting me give a prayer. I'll see you in Washington at our usual place. Bye, bye Barney.

He is no Bishop. He is an Obamanation.

Goes to show the level of respect Obama has for Americans who practice Christianity, which is what the majority in the US.

I guess if he couldn't choose a muslim to deliver the prayer, he'd choose someone else who'd piss off as many Christians as possible.

Robinson presided at the funeral of a friend of mine. Very friendly and outgoing man and it's not surprising that he would rise on the power of his personality alone.

But brother! He could talk the leg off a chair. As if Episcopal services aren't long enough!

The female in the center with the defiant look on her sour puss looks like just the type whose purpose in life is to tear down organized religion.
