It is disturbing that Kay Warren, Brian McLaren, Jim Wallis and Samir Selmanovic would take part in these conferences that promote a pluralist cosmic false Christ and Universalism but it not surprising. If people cannot see where these undiscerning people are taking “emerging Christianity by now they have not been paying attention.
Kay Warren will be joining Brian McLaren, Jim Wallis, Samir Selmanovic and a number of other emerging church leaders at the Envision 08 Conference. A reader clicked on the Envison 08 link for Evangelicals for Social Action, one of the sponsors of the event, and came across the organization’s magazine, Prism from March/April of this year. It contains a most interesting article by Paul Gordon-Chandler entitled, “Following Christ on Eastern Roads.” The article is so bad it has to be seen to be believed. What is highly interesting is the preface the editor attaches to the article.
The Editor’s Note at the front end is itself riddled with contradiction, yet the biggest contradiction of all is the running of this article after the editor claims to believe that Jesus Christ alone is the way, the truth and the life. As you can see when you read the article, this “Christ” has been redefined to walk within Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam. He is a Christ who wants us to look to the good things in other religions so we can learn from them. This Christ is present everywhere, in all people already. This is, in fact, another Christ, and ESA and Ron Sider are promoting him. The growing interest in interspirituality is evident everywhere today. That Kay Warren could participate in something that is sponsored by deceiving groups like this is deeply disturbing.
