The Diocese of Niagara is displaying Gene Robinson’s inaugural non-Christian prayer to an anonymous god on its web site but is strangely silent when it comes Rick Warren’s Christian prayer, a prayer that refers to Jesus. One supposes that this is because Niagara’s diocesan hegemony is more comfortable with a homosexual bishop than Jesus – someone they would demonstrably rather ignore.

It also has Obama’s address – I don’t remember Bush being given the same space – confirming my suspicion that the Niagara diocese is more interested in the kingdom of man than the kingdom of God, and left-wing political agitation than the salvation of souls.

Correction: Rick Warren’s prayer was put on the Niagara site a day later.
