MCC leader to read Bible at POTUS inaugural service

By on January 21, 2013

The Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, moderator of the Metropolitan Community Churches, which has LGBT supportive ministries in the U.S. and more than 40 countries, will read from the Bible at President Obama’s Inaugural Interfaith Prayer Service Tuesday morning at the National Cathedral, according to information released by the White House.

“It is profoundly meaningful to read the Bible during President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden’s second inauural interfaith service,” Wilson said in a statment released Monday morning by Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). “President Obama prayerfully and respectfully stood up for LGBT equality during his campaign, and I am proud to stand with him.”
