I missed this (over two years ago). I left a church over Rick Warren's "Willow Creek Church Association" I found out our church had secretly joined, and was sending money to the Pope of Political Correctness (Rick Warren). This was just after Rick gave an open mike at his church to AL GORE. And didn't press him on his support for partial birth abortion.
< SNIP FROM ARTICLE AVAILABLE AT FRONTPAGEMAG see link>
A plethora of terror-related individuals surrounds the profile of Pastor Rick Warren on the “Speakers Corner” of the official website of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). He is fully aware of how he is being portrayed on the site (as this author has had correspondence with his office regarding the matter) but refuses to demand its deletion and offers no apology for its existence. Pastor Warren has become a shill for Islamic terror. “As-salamu Alaykum. I come to you today deeply humbled and honored by this invitation. I truly mean that. I applaud your courage for inviting an Evangelical pastor. Thank you.” This was the opening statement of Rick Warren, the leading pastor of the influential Southern California Saddleback Church, as he stood in front of the attendees of ISNA’s 46th Annual Convention in July 2009.
Since 1995, Willow Creek Association has held an annual Leadership Summit. Speakers at the Leadership Summit have included President Bill Clinton,[5] Karen Hughes, who served as Special Advisor to former President George W. Bush, Lady Vols’ women’s college Basketball coach Pat Summitt, Dallas, Texas pastor Bishop T.D. Jakes, business consultant and author Jim Collins, University of Southern California president Steven Sample, Yahoo!’s Tim Sanders, business author and leadership consultant Marcus Buckingham, and Rick Warren, pastor and author of The Purpose Driven Life.
Uhh...pretty much a difference without distinction.....They are all cut from the same cloth, and run in the same circles.
Yep, Warren spoke at the Leadership Summit. That's not the same thing as running it. But if you don't think the truth has value in its own right, keep saying that Warren runs the Summit and that he's somehow in charge of the Willow Creek Association.

Why Young Evangelicals Voted for Obama
http://www.newsweek.com/2009/01/16/faith-beyond-his-father-s.html
So much has been written about the Joshua Generation, the young white evangelical Christians who pundits predicted would usher Obama into office in overwhelming numbers. Following such high-profile do-gooders as Rick Warren and Bono, moved to action by global poverty and environmental decay, these Christians were supposed to turn away from their parents’ obsession with abortion and gay marriage and pull the lever for Obama..................
Exclusive Video: Franklin Graham: Millions of Evangelicals Who Voted for Obama Won’t “Be at the Table Next Time”
In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Franklin Graham says he thinks that millions of Evangelical Christians who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 won’t, “be at the table next time.” Dr. Graham says they have seen things from this administration that, “concern them, worry them.” Franklin Graham then made an impassioned plea for churchgoers to get out and vote this year and in two years because if they don’t then, “we’re going to be in trouble.”
I interviewed both Franklin Graham and Dr. James Dobson together in Washington. They were in town taking part in a National Day of Prayer pre-event hosted at the Family Research Council. The Brody File camera was allowed exclusive access.
Are you drunk?
I didn’t post an article, I posted the 2008 voting results.
Look at how Evangelicals, and Christians actually voted, try to accept the truth.
You tried to make up fake numbers for the 2008 election, you were wrong.
From the article you posted:
“Young Christians liked Obama much better than Kerry: a third of white evangelicals ages 18 to 29 voted Democratic this time, compared with 16 percent in 2004. Still, a third is hardly a majority. And their grandparents liked Obama less: a quarter voted for him, compared with a third for Kerry. On the whole, Christians shifted negligibly to the left: 24 percent of them voted Democratic, compared to 21 percent in 2004.”
I know one ‘evangelical’ who voted for Obama. Everyone else tried hard to defeat him.
Well said!
A few times ;-)
That’s a fascinating graphic. Thanks!
This is what you questioned, yet I was correct.
“Practicing Christians voted overwhelmingly for McCain/Palin, I would say that the majority of all people that would even claim to be Christian, voted against Obama.”
By the way, for a holier than thou type Christian, you sure come off as hostile and angry, and WAY over the top aggresive.
The majority of the folks in my area are evangelical Christians as well and you're absolutely right. In spite of being in "conservative" Western NC I would say that not just many, but the majority, of the evangelical folks here voted for Obama. Mostly due to their having adopted the lying propaganda that had been spread about Dub for eight years, but whatever their reasons they were more than happy to vote for Obama. I can't understand how they could have a clear conscience and vote for someone who believes that mass murder is fine if you just call it abortion, but that's the way it is.
Good luck getting any of them to admit it now or getting others to understand that evangelical Christians are an easily swayed voting block that votes against Christian values just about as often as they vote for them (when they aren't explaining why the don't bother to vote). Most of the evangelical folks I've heard from here on FR are persuaded that all evangelicals vote for conservatives and Christian values no matter what. I wish that were the case.

Depends on which pew you’re sitting in lol!
I think Willowbrook is a fantastic church that is providing much needed leadership in our country.
Here is practically a love letter written about Rick Warren by Eboo Patel, one of Obama’s ‘religious advisors’. Mr. Patel is a Muslim who is closely connected with the Imam who wants a mosque built at ground zero.
See:
“Obama adviser: U.S. ‘ideal place for renewal of Islam’”
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=181865
Here Mr. Patel praises Rick Warren for his activism towards a world where an interfaith alliance works to promote the global agenda of man centered do good-isms under a religious guise. (Reading about Warren's ‘3 legged stool’ philosophy and the fact that he is a member of the CFR doesn't have to leave you wondering what role he is playing in helping with the NWO so desired by the globalists.)
Patel writes:
“...Last week at the Clinton Global Initiative, Warren was asked how “the church” could help to solve poverty. His response was to rattle off the numbers of Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and Christians in the world - in that order - and make a plea that the public and private sectors take seriously “the faith sector as the third leg of the stool of successful development”.
Warren consistently used the language of a religious pluralist. He spoke of “mosques, temples and churches” as central to the life of villages in the developing world. He underscored the fact that there are huge numbers of people of faith in the world, and huge numbers of houses of worship in places where clinics, banks and schools don't exist. Those people of faith can be trained to be the arms and legs of any development plan, and those houses of worship can double as clinics, banks and schools...”

Again, Mr. Patel is a hard line Muslim associated with Feisal Rauf. Yet he writes glowingly about Rick Warren.
Luke 6:26~
“Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.”
It all makes you feel so warm inside until you wake up to the fact that this is a demonic man-centered movement that has nothing to do with the great commission ordered by our Lord and everything to do with bringing in a global (one world) system of religion.
Wrong link in my post above. This one should work.
