P.M.,PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT R.W.,YOU ARE MUCH SMARTER THEN THAT.
I don't "support" Rick Warren. Quite frankly I think he is an idiot. But I don't believe he is worthy of a ping list. He has jumped the shark and is engaged in some very questionable political causes and religious traditions.
I think he gets too much attention. I also think that he has become a boogeyman of sorts among many here at Free Republic. He wrote a book. He started a fad. The book will burn and the fad will fade. The mission of the Church will be undaunted and Christ will be glorified regardless of what Rick Warren does.
Please, don't start a ping list.

Did they put it in writing for you to teach at saddleback with no bible's allowed?
I have a hard time believing that..
Not that I don't believe you Alpha; but No bibles in a Recovery class?
What was it a Recovery from? Christianity?

I NEVER TEACH WITHOUT MY SWORD,THOUGH WARREN'S TEACHER'S GUIDES ADVISE AGAINST IT!
2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
2 Timothy 3:17
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 4:1
I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:
2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
2 Timothy 4:4
and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
2 Timothy 4:5
But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
(NKJV)
7 SOLAS!
Our church just began its first "Purpose Driven Life" class. The instructions are to bring the book and not the Bible. The congregation was told "they won't be needed for this class."
