Too bad he's not replacing Rick Warren on January 20. Bishop Robinson will deliver the invocation prayer at an inaugural event on Sunday afternoon on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

    New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson, an outspoken, international gay rights leader, has been asked to give a prayer at one of President-elect Barack Obama's first inauguration events at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

    The announcement follows weeks of criticism from Robinson and gay-rights groups over Obama's decision to tap the Rev. Rick Warren, who's likened committed gay relationships to incest and polygamy, to pray on inauguration day.
