“A New Century: A New Reformation” with Rick Warren, author of A Purpose-Driven Life and the founding pastor of California’s Saddleback Church
(Sunday, January 27, 2008)

Rick Warren spoke with Dean Lloyd about the need for change in the church—a second Reformation centered on deeds. He explained how the size, distribution, and teachings of the church give Christians a unique opportunity to relieve suffering across the globe, pointing out, “The church was global 200 years before anybody started talking about globalization.”
