I'd like to see the link on that... Never been a big Warren fan. Liked a couple books, but he's a little like Olsteen.

Regarding doctrine, he was straight down the line baptis surrounding the events of the political debate.

Unbelievable ... but yet believable. This is the same Pastor that wanted all religious icons removed when he became pastor at Saddleback.

Thanks for the link

I am not a RW fan by any means.....however, in the interest of truth/fairness, RW did not "become" the pastor of Saddleback....he is the founding pastor, and religious icons of sort are abundant at their campus.

On this issue however, RW is a compromiser on many different fronts, so it is no surprise.

I have been studying Daniel. He was not a compromiser. I suspect a RW ministry has the gays threaten to boycott business belonging to his congregants if he doesn't cave in.

Ah...that's my fault for relying on an article written a couple years ago. It stated RW espressly didn't want religious icons in the church. Wanted to make it "sinner friendly."

He has made a term "seeker friendly" quite popular. However, there are portions of his campus that are teaching points of the Bible in and of themselves. You may not see statues and crosses everywhere but there is enough of the "christian" look/feel to know you're at a church.
