IS RICK WARREN PROMOTING CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER?


Is Rick Warren promoting contemplative spirituality? We believe the answer to that is a wholehearted “yes.” The first clue came many years ago in Warren’s first book, The Purpose Driven Church, where he said that the Spiritual Formation movement had a “vital message for the church,” and has “given the body of Christ a wake up call” (p. 127). He named Richard Foster and Dallas Willard as key players in the Spiritual Formation movement. Since then, a repeated promotion of contemplative prayer has taken place through Rick Warren and his ministries.
