Rick Warren's Dissertation Advisor Leads Network Promoting Uganda Anti-Gay Bill
Rick Warren's Dissertation Advisor Leads Network Promoting Uganda Anti-Gay Bill
By Bruce Wilson Fri Dec 04, 2009 at 01:44:35 PM EST
By Bruce Wilson & the New Apostolic Reformation Research Group

In 2008 Rick Warren declared that, following Rwanda, Uganda was the world's second official "Purpose Driven" nation. Uganda is currently in the news because of a bill before the Ugandan legislature that would establish the death penalty for homosexual acts and, critics charge, might even require the execution of HIV-positive Ugandan citizens.

Some observers have wondered if Purpose Driven Life author and mega-evangelist Rick Warren has had a role in the globally controversial bill, especially because of Warren's close association with Ugandan anti-gay activist Martin Ssempa and, more broadly, because Warren has refused to denounce the anti-gay bill.

To little notice, a charismatic network overseen by Warren's doctoral dissertation advisor, C. Peter Wagner, has played a major role in politically organizing and inspiring the Ugandan legislators who have spearheaded the anti-gay bill.

6. C. Peter Wagner
Wagner's books are scary.  However, at least he is honest
about his plans to take dominion over the globe.  Rick Warren
saves "expanding the kingdom over the whole globe"
lingo for his congregants and appears to have convinced
millions that his motives are altruistic.  The report is long
but revealing.  Warren is Wagner-lite or maybe even more of a
threat because of Warren's ability to make taking
"dominion" look almost non-threatening.

9. they got a "National Prayer Breakfast" going there, gun & Bible running ops
in Africa. Where is my "National Science Breakfast" to counter this? Only as a team, united, can we turn the tide against religious fanatics of all kinds.
