At that time, Warren had defended his decision by explaining that while the two may disagree on abortion and some homosexual-related issues, the two agree and can work together on advocating for the poor and fighting against the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
While Warren will be delivering the invocation at the inauguration, the benediction will be left to the Rev. Joseph Lowery, co-founder with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
