Churchmouse Campanologist: Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Church and management theory

An excerpt:

Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Church and management theory

In examining error this Lent, let us not forget the daddy of them all: Rick Warren. I submit to you, whether you are Catholic or Protestant, your church or diocese is using his methods for a Purpose-Driven Church.

When you read analyses of Pastor Rick Warren’s Purpose-Driven Church, they sound much like management treatises. Words like ‘growth’, ‘capital’, ‘knowledge’, and ‘assessment’ pop up time and time again. Low on the scale are words such as ‘Bible’, ‘God’, ‘Jesus’, ‘faith’, ’sin’ and ’redemption’.
