(CNN) Monday's ceremony marking the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem will break with tradition in more ways than one. Meanwhile, another controversial evangelical pastor, Robert Jeffress, will say a prayer at the embassy opening, a US official confirmed to CNN. Such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the United States Embassy in Jerusalem. The fact that I, along with tens of millions of evangelical Christians around the world, continue to espouse that belief, is neither bigoted nor newsworthy. — Dr. Robert Jeffress (@robertjeffress) May 14, 2018Jeffress spoke with Fox News Radio about his participation in the embassy opening.
