Of course not, but having been a member of various sized SBC churches in several states, I KNOW how they operate. Only *members* know what the church’s finances are. I gather you’ve never been to a business meeting in a SBC church?
Here’s a different article from the OC Register which has a whole lot more detail about the issue than the other “original” article.

In his church growth conferences, Warren teaches how the bylaws of the church need to be changed so that the pastor gets more control over the church.
I am telling you from personal experience, our church is in shambles now because of Warren’s business model that 100’s of thousands of pastors have learned.
It is truly sickening.
