It's an all-star conference set for the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, Calif., Jan. 17-19.
Former President George H.W. Bush will speak.
Chuck Colson will make a presentation.
Larry King will be there.
Rupert Murdoch will address attendees.
Ben Stein will appear.
And Kay Warren, wife of Saddleback Church mega-pastor Rick Warren, will join Robert Schuller
It's called the "Rethink Conference," and Schuller promises 30 "Aha!" moments from the 30 different speakers confirmed for the event.
Not everyone is thrilled about this meeting of the minds. Some, including Christian author and former New Age devotee Warren Smith, suspect an agenda to subvert the church – to take the focus off biblical truth and absolutes
According to Smith, Schuller has always "done a good job of softening up the church" for what he sees as unbiblical New Age ideas. And that's just what he expects the "Rethink Conference" is all about.
Thoughts?

Sounds dangerous to me. We need to pray that many will not be led astray and the people who are involved in this will see the error of it.

Its all about publicity and nothing else. A church must sell itself or its existence is threatened. There is noone named Hattie Mae Daniels, Bubba Dimwitty or Saleed Salaam on this card because common people would not draw the hollywood crowd and dollars. They will probably raise over a million dollars from this. Churches are nothing more than a non taxed business and a social forum so these people can feel good about themselves. Your dollars will help build your stairway to heaven.

There is nothing wrong with dialog and communication. The truth will surface and God's not afraid of the truth he is the author of the truth. People need to reach out and understand each other. They probably will end up agreeing to disagree but I think God would be much happier with that result than strapping explosives to your chest and killing "infidels" because of your lack of tolerance of others views. You're still supposed to love and help them.

This gathering can only subvert people that don't believe in the Bible as the final authority to begin with.
