Since Rick Warren rationalizes the presence of "common ground" to justify his many business and religious associations, Saddleback Church has granted Warren their own style of absolution regarding Warren's pastorial relationship with Rupert Murdock.
It is clear Saddleback stands firmly behind their pastor, regardless of what he claims publicly.Perhaps Saddleback could exercise their influence over "America's pastor" and pursuade their pastor to find a new publishing house for his bestselling books.
In this expose', Pastor Ken Silva moves beyond the pornography issue and reveals the following:
"Rupert Murdoch is owner, Chairman and CEO of News Corporation, which is the global vertically integrated media company that he founded. At its website we find Murdoch also owns HarperCollins Publishers as well as Zondervan, the publisher of Warren (Online source)."
"Now Rick Warren has another issue to deal with as “brother” Murdoch’s pastor. Because you see, HarperCollins just happens to be the publisher of, not only The Satanic Bible, but also Satanic Rituals by “The Black Pope” Anton La Vey. "
If Saddleback will not hold Rick Warren accountable for his public claims and relationships, will Saddleback initiate a boycott against the publishing houses of Rupert Mordock for the sake of the Gospel?
Will the 30,000 + plus pastors who are officially Purpose Driven join Saddleback Church in this boycott?
Will the Southern Baptist Convention issue a statement to support such a boycott?
Pastor Ken Silva asserts that Warren is guilty of hypocrisy for not publically correcting Murdock.
Will Saddleback Church, The Purpose Driven Church Network and the Southern Baptist Convention be guilty of hypocrisy if none of these groups publically stand against the publishers of the Satanic Bible?
If Rick Warren claims it's a time for deeds, not creeds, wouldn't this deed be worth doing?

Let me get this straight, one pastor in American, only one, mind you, is supposed to boycott HarperCollins and Zondervan because Rupert Murdock own's them, right? None of the other Christian leaders who use these publishers are accountable, right? Okay, let's do it, that means everyone reading this RIGHT now, go to your Bibles, your Christian books, or any other book in your house and look at the publisher. After that, go to your TV and block all the channels he owns, including sport and news channels, and why you’re being so righteous, throw out any of the newspapers he owns. Also, get your kids off of MySpace. Get REAL. Let’s see where true hypocrisy really lives. In case you think you don't own, or view anything he owns, let's have a look, shall we?

Dear Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI respect yout effort in the facts you assembled. However, I am not suggesting any one pastor boycott,
I am asking Saddleback (30,000 +)
to pursuade their very famous pastor to move his writings to an organization that does not support directly or indirectly, pornography or satanism or deviant sexual behavior.
There are publishing houses out there that are not tainted.
What a statement "America's pastor" & his comgregation could make with their economic clout against these very real giants.
