It was announced that Bishop Robinson would deliver the prayer about a month after it was reported that Pastor Rick Warren, who supported the California gay marriage ban, Prop 8, would deliver the invocation at Obama's inauguration ceremony.Americans who turn out at the Mall on Inauguration day will have the opportunity to see Bishop Gene Robinson's invocation for a second time. Yesterday's program will be shown on large screens on the Mall to entertain the crowd.Ben Smith: Inaugural Committee will rebroadcast Robinson on Mall
Today's broadcast will also include Robinson's opening prayer, which controversially, HBO did not air yesterday.
