    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the invocation delivered by gay Episcopal bishop V. Gene Robinson during the "We Are One" event at the National Mall, Washington, D.C. on January 18, 2009. According to "The New York Times," the event has opened festivities associated with the inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama. Meanwhile, Robinson's prayer was not broadcast on Home Box Office's (HBO) telecast of the event, which the Presidential Inaugural Committee said was an error.
