WSJ raises criticisms about Purpose-Driven model

«A Wall Street Journal story Sept. 5 focusing on California pastor Rick
Warren asserts that upheaval has occurred in various churches that have
embraced his “Purpose-Driven” emphasis.

“Congregations nationwide have split or expelled members who fought the
changes, roiling working-class Baptist congregations and affluent
nondenominational churches,” Wall Street Journal reporter Suzanne
Sataline wrote in the front-page story.

The 2,200-word story cites four congregations where upheaval occurred
from a move toward the principles espoused by Warren, pastor of
Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., and author of the best-seller
“Purpose-Driven Life.”

The story, however, does not relay any estimates of the extent of
problems nationwide stemming from Warren’s Purpose-Driven methods»
