Is Rick Warren Backing Off on Homosexuality?

Posted by Adam Graham in : Christianity

Over at Ameriblog, John Arovois is crowing that Rick Warren removed “anti-gay content” from his website:

So Rick Warren pulled the anti-gay language from his church Web site. The site used to explicitly ban gays from membership in the church…

Now the offending language is gone, but you can still find the anti-gay language via Google’s cache.

So does Rick Warren now welcome gays, all gays, as members of his church? Or is he simply embarrassed of his views – embarrassed of God’s views, per Warren’s own admission? And if Warren is embarrassed of God’s views, then what is he doing as a public spokesman on religion?

And whose idea was it to remove the anti-gay language? Warren’s, or Obama’s?

The idea of the President-elect telling a pastor what he can have on his website is pretty scary, but Arovois actually failed to note something. Warren has only re-organized the website.

There is a banner at the bottom page called “Bible Answers”, you click on that link and you find that instead of the written FAQs, Warren has posted Audio FAQs on issues including homosexuality where he reasserts the same viewpoint he stated in the text that Arvois found offensive. This is a pure myth.
