Mark Silk at Spiritual Politics highlights an interesting exchange between Rick Warren and Larry King last night (not about gay marriage).

King asks the purpose-driven pastor about Christians losing a good deal of the flock, as noted in a splashly Newsweek cover story.

Sayz Warren: “Well, I would say it’s the best of times and the worst of times. First place, I don’t think that all of the questions that are asked in surveys are always as objective as they could be. For instance, if you ask people, are you a Protestant — and the number of Protestants has gone down dramatically in the last 30 years. I don’t even call myself a Protestant.

So terminologies are changing. I don’t think faith is changing that much.”

So Rick Warren doesn’t call himself a Protestant? And all those adult baptizers burned at the stake during the Reformation, the forefathers of the people we now call Southern Baptists, the faith that formed Rick Warren, they were what, Catholics with slight objections?
