Rick Warren’s political interpretation of Crucifixion draws Christians’ ire: ‘Embarrassing’
Saddleback Church founder and former senior pastor Rick Warren drew scorn on social media for implying that Jesus would be a political centrist today because He was crucified between two thieves.

Evangelical Covenant Church Promotes Illegal Immigration Resources
The Evangelical Covenant Church is an outlier among liberal denominations. On one hand, their doctrines and practices deny the authority of Scripture. On the other hand, it is one of the most seeker-sensitive megachurch denominations in the country. Imagine if Calvary Chapel was fake and gay, you would have the ECC.
