What Will They Do Next
DENVER -- Focus on the Family Action has pulled a video from its Web site that had asked people to pray for "rain of biblical proportions" during Sen. Barack Obama's acceptance speech at Invesco Field on Aug. 28.
The political arm of Focus on the Family pulled the video Monday after a number of complaints from Focus members.
Stuart Shepard, the director of digital media for the group, wrote and started in the video that he described as "mildly humorous."
In the video, Shepard called for Christians to pray for "abundant, torrential" rains during the Democratic nominee's acceptance speech in order to disrupt it. He had asked Christians to pray for rain that would create flash flood warnings and "swamp the intersections."
In the video, Shepard said he hoped the rain would start "two minutes before the acceptance speech begins."
"I'm still pro life, and I'm still in favor of marriage as being between one man and one woman," Shepard said in his video. "And I would like the next president who will select
justices for the next Supreme Court to agree."
The video was posted on the Internet on July 30.
A spokesman for Focus on the Family Action said they regret the video and removed it. Focus on the Family Action lobbies for and against political issues
