Rick Warren Goes Global - TIME
Rick Warren Goes Global - TIME
Rick Warren is taking his P.E.A.C.E. initiative global.
“an attempt to radically re-engineer Evangelicalism’s huge missionary culture, connecting individual churches in the U.S. to congregations in target countries rather than funneling aid and evangelism through agencies that send trained professionals into the field’
Is this the direction we should be going in mission? Is Warren on to something or is this just another example of the walmartization (yes I made that up) of the church?

i’m inclined to believe that warren’s intentions are the best (having once been a leader in a PD church). but having seen up-close how easily the PD model can be perverted as a means to colonize people’s thinking, I struggle to see how the big-box approach to missions is going to be much more than the global dissemination of American middle-class, theocapitalistic values in the jesus’ name–however purpose-driven intentions may be. that seems way to reminiscent of european imperial expansion and the crusades before that.
