Senate Chaplain Cancels Appearance (previously appeared with Coulter)

[kskiska]

Senate Chaplain Barry Black has canceled his scheduled appearance at a Christian evangelical conference after he was pictured with columnist Ann Coulter and other prominent conservatives in a brochure promoting the event.

Black told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record), D-Nev., he wouldn't be addressing next month's Reclaiming America for Christ Conference because his appearance wouldn't uphold the Senate chaplain's "historic tradition of being nonpolitical, nonpartisan, nonsectarian," Meg Saunders, a spokeswoman for the chaplain, said Thursday.

Saunders said Black, a Seventh-day Adventist and a former Navy chaplain, had received "a very generic invitation" in the fall of 2005 to speak at the conference and had agreed because there was room on his schedule.

Other featured speakers at the March 2 and 3 conference in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., include abortion opponent and Catholic priest Frank Pavone, conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins. Listed topics include "making America safe for the unborn," "the battle to defend marriage," "homosexuality and the church" and "Darwin's deadly legacy."
