Rick Warren and Barack Obama

In light of the recent controversy surrounding Senator Barack Obama's visit to Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, Faithful Democrats has released an open letter to all pastors. The controversy is all about Obama's politics and sadly it loses the bigger picture of the visit. See it here:

Several right-wing religious organizations, including the National Clergy Council, recently blasted Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church for inviting Senator Barack Obama to speak on World AIDS Day this Friday, December 1. It's unfortunate that these groups would exploit the Christian faith to advance their divisive agenda - an agenda that gives almost exclusive attention to a few wedge issues while ignoring the diversity of problems plaguing American communities.

The letter is signed by over a dozen pastors and leaders from across the country is an urging voice to come together for World AIDS day and help those in need.
