Preacher talking politics
Rick Warren on Aug. 18 edition of TIME Magazine
Rick Warren, author of the best-selling book “The Purpose-Driven Life,” is featured on the cover the Aug. 18 edition of TIME magazine.
He’ll be the moderator of an Aug. 16 ”civil forum” featuring “presumptive Presidential nominees” Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and Republican Sen. John McCain.
The forum is to be held at Warren’s Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif.
TIME writer David Van Biema calls Warren the country’s most influential and highest-profile churchman.
According to Christian Newswire, Warren told the writer the he will not give the candidates a “Christian religion test,” but he wants to showcase “what’s good for everybody, not just what’s good for me. Who’s the best for the nation right now?”
Should be interesting at Saddleback come Aug. 16.
Can’t get to Lake Forest to see the forum? No worries.
The church’s Web site says that it will be shown live online. Go to www.saddleback.com for all the details.
Incidentally, Warren and the upcoming forum aren’t the only news of a religious nature featured in the latest edition of TIME.
The magazine also features a poll of Evangelicals that might prove interesting to some.
