This piece was written by my friend and colleague Dr. Sylvia Rhue, Director of Religious Affairs National Black Justice Coalition. It is a very passionate and lucid critique of President-elect Obama's unfortunate decision to include Rev. Rick Warren in the inauguration ceremonies. Enjoy!

One of the overriding goals of the Religious Affairs Program of the
National Black Justice Coalition is to change the conversation of homosexuality from being a sickness and a sin, to a genuine understanding of sexuality with inclusion replacing exclusion, and fact replacing fears. This is no small task with the kind of opposition we face on a daily basis. I see first hand the damage that spiritual abuse can do to body and soul.
