There’s been an update since we blogged about the announced lineup of people giving invocations and benedictions at next week’s Democratic National Convention. Cameron Strang, editor of Relevant magazine, has decided not to give the benediction on Monday after all, OrlandoSentinel.com reports.

“If my praying at the DNC was perceived as showing favoritism and incorrectly labeling me as endorsing one candidate over the other, then I need to have pause,” Strang said.

Convention staff confirmed the change of plans and said author Don Miller will replace him. ChristianityToday.com has covered the developments, too, noting that Miller is most known for his book, “Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality.”
