Christians' place in the world

Rick Warren, Senior Pastor, Saddleback Church

"If Christians ought to be anywhere, they ought to be where people are talking about poverty. So I felt like Christians ought to show up big and strong, because if we don't the world ... looks up and says, `Where are the Christians when we talk about poverty?'"

-- Rick Warren, from the Live 8 rock concert in Philadelphia, Pa., on Saturday (July 2). Warren wrote the best-selling book "The Purpose Driven Life." He was quoted by ASSIST News Service.
