The invocation by Rick Warren at Barack Obama's inauguration was the subject of much controversy. What is the history of the invocation? Who was the first president to have one? What religions have been represented in the invocation/benediction? Has this traditionally been a contentious event?
Thanks for playing Trivia Tuesday. Please put you answers in the comments. I will try to post these weekly at noon mountain time. Answer three trivia questions correctly and I will mail you two dozen cookies of your choice anywhere in the world. Jason has correctly answered the first two editions of Tuesday Trivia.

this is like 3 or 4 trivia questions...the inauguration prayer started in 1937 with Pres. FDR, However as early as 1933 there was an associated prayer before the inauguration ceremony. Most christian denominations have been represented in inaugural prayers (episcopalian, presbyterian, catholic, southern baptist, methodist, greek orthodox) as well as Judaism. This event is not usually controversial.
that should be enough, but if you would like a PhD thesis on the subject, I can find a history major.
What's wrong with you, Jason? Do you have nothing better to do than answer Keith's trivia questions? By the time I see 'em you've already researched and answered the question. Don't you have some real research to do or a kid to take care of??? :-)
I want those cookies! Damn, I better start paying attention.
A better trivia question: What is the origin of Rev. Lowery's quote about black don't have to get back, brown don't have to get down, yellow is mellow, etc. and white get it right?
where was trivia #4?
