FAMED American pastor, Dr Rick Warren has said he supports the decision by Ugandan bishops to boycott the forthcoming Lamebth conference in England, United Kingdom.
The conference brings together Bishops of the Anglican Communion from all 38 Provinces of the Communion every 10 years.
"The Church of England is wrong and I support the Church of Uganda(CoU) on the boycott,"Dr Warren said on Thursday shortly after arriving in Uganda.
The Bishops are protesting the Church of England's tolerance a homosexuality. Announcing the boycott in February, Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi said that Uganda's action had been prompted by the invitation of bishops of The US Episcopal Church (TEC) who in 2003 elected as bishop, Gene Robinson, a divorced man living in an active homosexual relationship.
Rev. Orombi said the Archbishops of all the 38 Provinces of the Anglican Communion strongly opposed the election of Gene Robinson as bishop - and in a meeting shortly after the election "warned that, if they proceeded with the consecration, their action would "tear the fabric of the Anglican Communion at its deepest level."
Dr Warren said that homosexuality is not a natural way of life and thus not a human right. "We shall not tolerate this aspect at all," Dr Warren said.

‘When the Southern Baptists pulled out funding, my wife and I wrote a check for $25,000 to BWA’
‘I see absolutely zero reason in separating my fellowship from anybody’ [At meetings in England Mr Warren’s fellow platform speakers included Steve Chalke (who denies ‘penal substitution’), Charles Colson (Joint architect of Evangelicals & Catholics Together) and Peter Kreeft (Roman Catholic author of ‘Ecumenical Jihad’ who wrote ‘The power that will reunite the Church and win the world is Eucharistic adoration’.]
Why do you despise Rick Warren so?
Because he well may be the false prophet. Question is, if he were a true man of God, why does he despise the church so much. His market-driven mafia-style Christianity is wrecking churches and devastating Christians everywhere. He personally is responsible for a scattering of the sheep and will not be held unaccountable.
Yeah, this guy “Rick Warren” seems to be all over the place. One day he’s schmoozing with Democrat abortionists and the next he’s supporting the Church of Uganda in its rebellion against the homo agenda.

I guess my question would be, why would anyone in the whole Anglican Collective Communion thing care what Rev. Rick thinks? Why does Rick think they would?
I doubt he’s THE false prophet - even when he stands up for something right, he gets nothing but grief and venom.
Look into the eyes of the 70 something year old man who was a charter member of his church for 45 years and has recently been forced to leave - all because the church is following Rick Warren’s purpose driven plan - and tell me that he doesn’t deserve it.

No bias there.
Well, at least Rick is getting one thing right...he’s still got a long way to go.
Until he renounces his money making marketing scheme, repents of the evil that he has perpetrated against the family of God, and denounces those who drive away the sheep - he will never get a pass and will be seen as the opportunist he is. There has to be an angle in this Uganda thing (like he wants his book sold there). Warren simply does not have these kind of convictions.
well that crossed my mind too. if I was the Ugandans I’d be denouncing the support of Rick Warren too as being essentially useless.
THE false prophet will stand up for lots of right things. Or he won’t be able to decieve so many.
Yes... what’s your point? did you read my comment and how this behavior is inconsistent with the things Rick has said and taught?
even some liberal non chrisitians get this one right. kind of damning by faint praise n’est ce pas?
Yep. That was my intent. Rick’s almost in the Joel Osteen camp, for me. I won’t go quite so far as to call him a false prophet, like I would say about Osteen, but he’s just this side of the line, in my view.
Rick Warren is not wrong about everything. This appears to be an example of that. He is, however, on balance, a horrible influence on the church.
You’ll get there. :-)
read PDL and see what kind of details about the gospel are included before he pronounces you ‘part of the family of God.’
And how he advocates growing in christ (making more and more commitments to DO stuff - like the Colossians and Galatians! Paul had some harsh things to say about those false teachers)
Warren seems to be the Evangalistic version of Bill Clinton. He will say whatever the paying audience in front of him wants to hear. About as seeker-friendly as you can get.
So is that your position - Rick Warren is THE false prophet, and God is incapable of using him to bring anyone to know him? Or to grow?
Tolerance is not the problem. It is the American/Canadian defiance in ordaining active homosexual priests, the consecration of the gay bishop and same-sex “marriages.”. It is the Americas modern interpretation of scripture regarding sexuality, authority of Scripture, and opening the “way” to everlasting life to other than Christians.
