White House Easter Prayer Breakfast: Photo Roundup

OMG!” Monday’s Easter Prayer Breakfast saw 150 clergy and faith leaders hosted by the White House, including Bishop Gene Robinson who was selected for a closing prayer. But everyone’s favorite celebrity bishop wasn’t the only Religious Left figure tweeting away from the executive mansion. Below is a collection of photos compiled from various attendees:

    Charles,
    What a creepy judgemental comment you make. OH MY what a vicious cycle! Or could it just be you don’t recognize truth? Or the true definition of judgemental? If all things are acceptable then you are hating on EMatters! Don’t be a hater!

    Nice to know all the heretics are gathered in one room.

    Any woman who thinks she can be a pastor is wrong; overseers (as well as deacons) are to be husbands of one wife. Last I checked, a “husband” is male.

    Homosexuality is condemned. Even Jesus remarked that marriage is between one man and one woman (Remember the phrase “one flesh”? Our Lord said it.).

    Don’t pick and choose when it comes to Scripture (BTW, before someone says it, the mixture of fabrics is meant to show Israel that they are to keep separate from the heathen nations around them. Also, certain animals were off-limits due to disease.).

    Also… Evans should have remained on her roof as a contentious woman.
