ANGLICAN WORLD NEWS
America’s Pastor, the Rev. Rick Warren has entered the Anglican wars, giving his full support to the third

conservative congregations at his Saddleback Community Church who were threatened with eviction from

successful ballot initiative that overturned gay marriage in California—has long angered the liberal
hierarchy of the Episcopal Church. In 2005, he shared a platform with the Anglican archbishops of the
Global South movement at the “Hope and a Future” Conference in Pittsburgh and backed its call for the
