Poor Rick. Everywhere the man turns lately, he's getting the shift kicked out of him. He ticked off all the gays in the country by comparing them to chester molesters and then turned around and ticked of the Dobsonites by saying that he "never reaaaaally gave a crap about Gays getting married" and that he misspoke about Gays being the same as chester molesters. 
Now he's basically saying that he doesn't want to talk about Gays anymore and wants to focus on AIDS and poverty. If I could paraphrase his last statement, it was something like this: "Yes, no... I mean... I think I don't care about Gay marriage... God loves us and has a purpose for marriage for molesters... I mean, queeeeerrrwEATHER we are having ain't it? No really, what I really like to do is... Well, I'd like to teach the world to sing: A perfect harmony. I'd like to buy the world a coke and keep it company. SING WITH ME NOW!" I think Warren basically has that good old "I want everyone to like me syndrome." Can't judge a man for that.
I also think, in general, pastors should stay away from journalists and the t.v. That goes for you too, Joel-meister. No more Larry King interviews for you.

This was bound to happen someday.
Someone that well known can't stay away from the "heresy" label forever.
Sad.
Hopefully in the midst of this media frenzy he'll be able to keep his sole focus on pleasing the One who really matters.
So true. I used to give Warren a hard time simply because I give any Christian author a hard time who uses cursive in the titles of their books. However, lately I've been thinking Warren is just great.
macarthur seems to hold his own with ole larry- not just saying that cause I went to grace church but seriously... the man has guts.
