Saddleback Church founder speaks at Vatican-hosted Humanum Colloquium.
Pastor Rick Warren, Founder and Senior Pastor of Saddleback Church—an evangelical megachurch located in Lake Forest, California—was among the featured presenters at last week's Vatican-hosted Colloquium on the Complementarity of Man and Woman. Also known as the Humanum Colloquium, the conference gathered leaders and scholars from various Christian and non-Christian religions across the globe November 17-19 to examine and propose anew the beauty of the relationship between man and woman in marriage.
Warren, one of the most prominent evangelical leaders in the world, is perhaps most widely known as the author of the bestselling books The Purpose Driven Church and The Purpose Driven Life.
Aleteia's Rome correspondent sat down with Pastor Warren at the conclusion of the Humanum Colloquium to discuss his experience at the interreligious event; the six points of what he calls a "Purpose Driven Marriage"; and his first trip across the Tiber.
Pastor Warren, what has been your impression of this week’s colloquium on the complementarity of man and woman in marriage?
I think it was great because you heard people not only from the streams of Christianity but also non-Christian religions showing solidarity with us about what we call the biblical definition of marriage: one man and one woman for life.
That’s a good thing. Right now in the world, the minority view is getting the majority of press, and you just don’t hear the fact that the vast majority of people believe that marriage is what it’s always been since the Creation: one man and one woman for life.
What have been some of the highlights of the Humanum Colloquium?
Rabbi [Jonathan] Sacks is a friend of mine, and his message was outstanding. [Jacqueline] Rivers’ message was just outstanding. Sr. Prudence was just fantastic. She is so brilliant.

It isn't about ME, Vlad; but the LURKERS who might be persuaded by evidence.
Throw the switch before another train goes off the rails!
Well, you posted what you posted. Live with it.
Good advice.
You Haven’t posted what you have so boldly claimed.
I’m dying to know why.
You posted it. Go ahead and say what you said before. I’m not allowed to post it by the Rel Mod remember? But you can post your own admission any time you want to.
Remember?
No.
I keep no record of wrongs that the other guy has commited.
I do, however, try to remember when I get called on the carpet.
The lurkers will understand if you merely type in a number so THEY could look it up.
I'm sure the mod won't mind; but; I'll ping him(her?) just to make sure:
I think it is obvious how that would be received by the powers that be. Won’t happen.
Carrying a dispute forward from a previous thread is not tolerable on the RF - the dispute should be continued on the previous thread. If that is the issue here, vladimir998 should ping you to the previous thread.
See what I mean?
A brave Catholic.
But I'm not sure since he won't say.
Anything on the current thread is “fair game” to be quoted.
“A brave Catholic.”
Gee, sounds like you’re making it personal.
Says the fella that typed:
I think it is obvious how that would be received by the powers that be. Won’t happen.
What I said did not violated the rules in any way. Your comment was clearly making it personal. And, by the way, I was right.
Mary is alive in Christ.
