Focus on the Family Action pulled a video off its site Monday that asks people to pray for rain during Sen. Barack Obama’s anticipated acceptance speech in Denver later this month.
Stuart Shepard, director of digital media at Focus Action told Colorado Springs Gazette reporter Mark Barna that the video, posted July 30, was meant to be “mildly humorous.”
Tom Minnery, Focus Action vice president of public policy, told the Gazette that the video was taken down Monday because several Focus members complained that prayer shouldn’t be used to bring harm on someone else.
“We are not about confusing people about prayer,” Minnery said.
