Rick Warren is turning into a bigger as8hol3 with each passing day.
Rev. Rick Warren takes another jab - Faith & Reason
Recapping here: After sticking a fork in the eye of gay rights advocates by actively supporting Proposition 8 -- which overturned the legalization of gay marriage in California -- Warren compounded their outrage by equating gay marriage with incest in an interview with Beliefnet.This was obviously done as a "jab" to Rev. V. Gene Robinson and the gay community. Warren was probably upset that Robinson made some comments about him to the press, saying that Warren was perpetrating lies about gays.
The hubbub lulled down a little over the holidays but today, he's back, with an open invitation to any group displaced by their denomination. This is code for Episcopal congregations that oppose that church's acceptance of a gay bishop in 2003. Earlier this week, a California judge ruled that a breakaway congregation, St. James in Newport Beach, cannot keep its property now that they have left the Episcopal Church.
The Southern Baptist Warren shared his letter with Christianity Today which says, in part:We stand in solidarity with them, and with all orthodox, evangelical Anglicans. I offer the campus of Saddleback Church to any Anglican congregation who need a place to meet, or if you want to plant a new congregation in south Orange County.
This invitation is nothing more than an act of exclusion.
