hi, i subscribe to the orange county register and read the article twice and the headline was incorrect. the article said Christians and muslims believe in one god, it did not say they believe in the same god. rick's statement of faith is still in the triune Godhead and salvation only through Jesus Christ.
 
i have no clue what rick warren is doing and i have no idea why he is on this path and i am not defending it.
 
this post is simply to let you and others know the website you posted had it not only wrong but added their own false headline.
 
i went to www.ocregister.com to find the article but couldn't, if need be i'll dig through our old newspapers to find the article.

Warren has faced criticism from some evangelicals for his outreach to Muslims. Late last year, he issued a statement flatly denying rumors that he promulgates what critics term "Chrislam," a merging of Islam and Christianity.
The "rumor is 100 percent false," Warren wrote at Pastors.com, a website he founded that provides practical advice to church leaders. "My life and ministry are built on the truth that Jesus is the only way, and our inerrant Bible is our only true authority."
Polls show that evangelicals are 30 percent more likely than other Christians to hold a negative view of Islam, according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. Polls also show that evangelicals overwhelmingly favor converting Muslims to Christianity and are more likely to believe that Islam encourages violence.
Warren has repeatedly encouraged evangelicals to set aside such views, arguing that Christians are obliged to treat everyone with love and respect, regardless of faith.
