I think that the invitation for Warren to give the innvocation at the inauguration has stirred many questions within the Christian community that has left some believers asking why he would pray for the liberal president-elect. I think that your article might help many see that Warren's focus has alway been to reach out to the unchurched and the stranger to the things of God. Personally, I'm grateful that Warren has an opportunity to pray publically (globally) for the president-elect and our nation. May God give Rick incredible insight and wisdom as he prays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-20044355405258948312008-12-28T13:05:00.000-07:002008-12-28T13:05:00.000-07:00Thanks for this informative post, Gerardo, and for...Thanks for this informative post, Gerardo, and for such a helpful contextualization of Warren's history. I like Zoll’s article, too. And Randall Balmer has a chapter on Warren in the latest edition of _Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory_. <BR/><BR/>With _Mosaic_ and _ Hollywood Faith_ you certainly know the SoCal religious scene well. I wonder how the trends and practices you write about in your books compare and/or contrast with those of Saddleback?<BR/><BR/>Readers may or may not have heard about Warren’s latest book, _The Purpose of Christmas_. I thumbed through it at an in-law’s house last week, and found that it continued to articulate the readable simplicity of the purpose-driven message and hit the major points of conservative evangelical theology (e.g., centrality of Jesus, authority of Bible, etc.). Yet with a closing chapter on Warren’s P.E.A.C.E. plan it registered as decidedly more cosmopolitan in outlook and almost activist in tone. It certainly corresponds to your description of him as a conservative, “open” evangelical. It will be fascinating to watch the story of Rick Warren continue to develop.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853976805605495345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-87207106756793334802008-12-27T18:40:00.000-07:002008-12-27T18:40:00.000-07:00An article just came through the Associated Press ...An article just came through the Associated Press that parallels some of my comments here.
