Pastorpreneur Warren
Rick Warren, 57, the US’s most famous pastor. He bounds across the stage wearing his trademark goatee, a black T-shirt, Converse trainers and jeans. He is preaching about self-examination: “If you’re doing something that’s messing up your marriage or destroying your finances, it’s because there is some kind of emotional pay-off. I don’t know what it is – maybe it’s to mask your pain, maybe it’s to cover up a fear, maybe it’s an excuse to fail, maybe it’s to compensate for guilt.”
Warren is America’s leading “Pastorpreneur” – a kind of avuncular chief executive of evangelism. His 2002 book The Purpose Driven Life is one of the bestselling hardbacks in US history, and he has fans and followers on Facebook and Twitter.

Is het de kneepjes van het vak kennen, of handig weten in te spelen op hedendaagse deuntjes en alles lekker goed laten rocken en prettig entertainment brengen?
ReplyDeleteSaddleback's stichter Warren is de meest uitspringende evangelistische prediker van de sterk overheersende 16miljoen-sterke Southern Baptist Convention die zulk een aantrekkingskracht heeft dat het de rock sterren en de politici zijn die hem opzoeken en maar graag met hem in de kijker komen.
