QUOTE: "The church has never been a building. Christ did not die for property. … The church—God's family—is going to go on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. If God has called you to serve in a local church ... don't you ever step down to become the president of the United States or anything else for that matter, because nothing matters more ... [than] the privilege of guiding and guarding and shaping and sharing and encouraging and helping the flock of God. … We are to love the people of the world no matter what they believe; we are to not love the value system of the world. And the problem today is a lot of Christians are getting that reversed. They love the value system and hate the people. God has never met a person He didn't love." —Saddleback Church senior pastor Rick Warren, addressing the hundreds gathered earlier this week to mark the formation of the Anglican Church in North America, a new conservative network of congregations that broke from the increasingly liberal Episcopal Church [AP, 6/23/09]
