THE FIFTY MOST INFLUENTIAL CHURCHES (Saddleback Church - "Purpose Driven" - is No.1)

. . .with the goal of ranking the nation's fastest growing churches and churches with more than 2,000 weekend attendance.

With a beginning like that, I wonder how hard it would be to pare the list down to represent some 30 or 40 churches to be avoided at all costs. ;)

I just read last week where Rick Warren is alleged to have written something to the effect that "doctrine doesn't matter" on page 34 of his Purpose Driven Church book. Or, it may have been the Purpose Driven Life. In either case, I plan to look it up soon. Sometimes, context is everything. We'll see.

On a related note, this past Saturday my dad mentioned that, while he hates the thought of going to church, he watches Robert Schuller (the Crystal Cathedral guy) once in a while. {{shudder}}

Doctrine is evil. God is love, God is tolerance. "You are entering a hate free zone". Oh then they can say Knowledge puffs up but love edifies.

So what's wrong with female pastors anyways? /liberal blessmeclub think off/
