The plot thickens... HBO said that they didn't broadcast Bishop Robinson's prayer because the Inaugural Planning Committee had decided to put it in the "pre-show." The Obama people have apologized and said that this was a mistake. So today the whole Lincoln Memorial Concert will be re-broadcast, with the Bishop's prayer.
Here is a summary of events around this from Rachel Maddow:
As for the prayer itself, here the video currently circulating on the web:
I imagine that this was a challenging prayer to write! But I'm proud that the Episcopal Church had such a central role in everything. I have some friends on staff at Washington National Cathedral and I'm curious what kind of stuff they have going on around the Inauguration.
