Rick Warren received a letter of GRATITUDE from James Dobson for his anti-gay efforts

...One final comment: Thanks to all of you who fasted and prayed about Proposition 22 in California, which defined marriage as being exclusively between one man and one woman. It passed 61 percent to 39 percent.4 We are very grateful that the Lord answered our prayers and that our friends in California went to the polls in huge numbers to defend the institution of marriage in our most populous state. We want to commend all those pastors who spoke out on this issue from the pulpit and encouraged their congregations to get out and vote. Commendation is also extended to the following individuals for their hard work and dedication to this effort:

* Mark Washburn, Executive Director, Capitol Resource Institute, Sacramento, CA
* Rob Stutzman, Chairman, Protection of Marriage Committee, Sacramento, CA
* Robert Glazier, Protection of Marriage Campaign Spokesman, Sacramento, CA
* Ed Atsinger, Salem Communications
* Randy Thomasson, Campaign for California Families, Sacramento, CA
* Pastor Larry DeWitt, Calvary Community Church, Westlake Village, CA
* Pastor Jack Hayford, Church on the Way, Van Nuys, CA
* Pastor Rick Warren, Saddleback Church, Mission Viejo, CA
* Pastor Rick Cole, Capitol Christian Center, Sacramento, CA
* Michael Bowman, Family Research Council, Washington D.C.
* Ned Dolejsi, Head of the California Catholic Conference
* David Lane, Camarillo, CA
* H. B. London, Vice President of Ministry Outreach, Focus on the Family

It was a wonderful victory, for which we are thankful. Congratulations, California

And is now "America's pastor". Shudder.

...on the leading edge of human evolution, or dragged into it kicking and screaming. Or, in a language he might better understand, does he want to be involved in creating the "new wineskins" that can hold the new truths of a new day, or just keep patching up the "old wineskins" of an old, calcifying one. And, sorry, Rev., your "everybody else is doing it this way" excuse doesn't give you any more credibility when you use it than it does when a child tries it on his/her parents.
