Barack Obama will be coming to Saddleback Community Church to speak at a national conference. Read it below.
The statement cited a letter that Warren sent to other pastors before the 2004 election that said, "To be truly pro-life means far more than opposing abortion. It also means doing everything in our power to keep people alive, so they might respond to the grace of Jesus Christ. Sometimes that means working with people you disagree with. With AIDS killing 8,000 people a day, saving lives is more important to us than political alignment."
The statement also noted that Obama will not address the Saddleback congregation, but a conference of leaders focusing on the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
"Our goal has been to put people together who normally won't even speak to each other," the Saddleback statement said. "We do not expect all participants in the Summit discussion to agree with all of our evangelical beliefs. However, the HIV/AIDS pandemic cannot be fought by evangelicals alone. It will take the cooperation of all - government, business, NGOs and the church."
[After reading more in-depth on Obama's views (namely Partial Birth Abortion) I do not support cooperation with Obama. The original post has been edited.]
