Amazing! But not really! Lookyhere, from my copy of An American Bible:
I'm sure Warren will find some way blame this on the gays.
...Goaded by #allanbrauer, Warren has responded. He links to a "primary source" that he obviously believes vindicates him.
It don't.
Short story: Robert Aitken, a Philadelphia print-maker, asked Congress in 1781 for funds to publish a Bible. Congress said no. However, they did "endorse" the project, and those endorsements -- which ran after the title page in the Aitken Bible -- is what Warren links to. As Baylor's Derek Davis wrote, "Congress gave no financial aid to the project."
The story of America's inception is as remarkable as Warren's myth-making is gratuitous and silly. Pastor, care to admit you screwed up?
