Southern Baptist Convention VP calls for Warren to recind Obama invitation

Wiley Drake, second vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention, also voiced his opposition in a personal e-mail sent to Warren and media outlets Nov. 28. Drake, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, Calif., just north of the Lake Forest, Calif., megachurch, addressed his note to a "fellow Southern Baptist pastor." While not an initial signer to the pro-lifers' letter, Drake repeated the request for Warren to rescind the invitation "to the enemy Senator Obama." He wrote he was "very disappointed at this move and ... this is bad for the Kingdom of God."
