RICK WARREN CALLS ON MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS TO WORK TOGETHER
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jul 13, 2009 in Rick Warren
From The Orange County Register as cited at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) website:
Speaking to a crowd of nearly 8,000 Muslims at the Islamic Society of North America’s annual convention in Washington D.C., Saddleback Church Pastor Rick Warren called on Muslims and Christians to form an interfaith coalition to combat prejudice and stereotypes. While Fourth of July revelers staked out seats to watch fireworks at the nearby Capitol Building, Warren addressed convention-goers – some of them from Orange County Muslim student associations – about the need for mutual respect.
“Tolerance is not enough,” Warren said. “People don’t want to be tolerated, they want to be respected, they want to be listened to. They want to be valued.” Armed with four ideas for action, Warren called on Muslims and Christians to work together to create respect, restore civility to civilization, promote peace and tackle major world problems. “I am not interested in interfaith dialogue, I am interested in interfaith projects,” Warren said. “Talk is very cheap.”… (Online source)
If you haven’t yet heard Warren’s talk at ISNA we have a video of it below that apparently the Saddleback censors missed. You may want to save it quickly as odds are it will be gone within an hour.
