WASHINGTON, D.C. — At some point today, New Hampshire's Episcopal Bishop V. Gene Robinson will come face to face with the Rev. Rick Warren, who will be delivering the invocation at the presidential swearing-in ceremony.

The two have never met, Robinson said, and they couldn't be farther apart on some things.

Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church, and his partner of 18 years entered into a civil union soon after it became law in New Hampshire.

Warren, the conservative evangelical pastor of Saddleback Church in California, opposes gay marriage and endorsed Proposition 8, which passed and restricts the right of marriage to same-sex couples in his home state.

Still, Robinson said, "I look forward to meeting him."

Concerts need prayers like fish need motorcycles.  And FTR, I heard his prayer, he bored me.
