Warren's Sunday Message Has Evolved/Been Inteligently Re-designed
In the correspondence initially sent out to his church’s members regarding Saturday’s Civil Forum, Saddleback Pastor, Rick Warren said that he planned to deliver a message on the Sunday following the forum called, “Making up Your Mind: Questions to Consider before the Election”. Over the last few days, as other details surrounding the forum have changed, so too has the Sunday message. The new working title is “The Kind of Leadership America Needs”.
In an email sent to members by Saddleback’s Executive Pastor, Glen Kreun wrote, “The message will be about the necessity and nature of effective leadership. Dr. Warren has advised many presidents and world leaders. "The Kind of Leadership America Needs," will be based on what the Bible says about servant leadership, his 35 year personal study of leadership, and his experiences in having trained more than 400,000 leaders in 162 countries over the past 28 years. Dr. Warren has taught on leadership at Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, The University of Judaism, the Davos World Economic Forum, the Aspen Institute, the United Nations, and at many international congresses. He was selected by "U.S. News & World Report" as one of America's 25 Best Leaders.
While the new message appears to be less suggestive to voters, it does seem more final and definitive in its message. It is a bold and assertive claim of certainty that some critics are claiming is Rick Warren’s attempt to bring wandering Evangelicals back into the Republican flock. Clearly, this is the only drama to be expected from the forum.
