He closed for Christmas because he figured there wouldn't be enough people there?

I thought Saddleback was open, it was Willow Creek that was closed, wasn't it?

I thought all of the market driven churches had gotten together on being closed on Sunday, Dec. 25. If Warren opted out of the conspiracy, I'll give him credit for that.

Thanks for the correction.

"Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, which routinely draws 20,000 worshippers each Sunday, will hold one 11:15 a.m. service Christmas Day."

Many of the "Megachurches" did not hold services on Christmas Day, so their production crews -- oops -- er, staff -- could spend some time with their families. Forget that it was the Celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ -- the reason for having services in the first place.
