A first: 2 openly gay clergy participate in natl inaug prayer service: Serene Jones of Union seminary and Nancy Wilson of MCC



The Reverend Dr. Serene Jones, President of the Faculty
Union Theological Seminary, New York, New York

– Jones, friend of the White House, represents the old-line Protestant establishment that is Union Seminary. She’s a respected scholar and teacher.


The Reverend Elder Nancy L. Wilson, Moderator
Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches

– Wilson is perhaps the most interesting name on the list. She heads the nation’s only predominantly gay denomination, and her choice has to be seen in light of the president’s landmark nod to gay Americans in his inaugural address on Monday.
