Its called the “Rethink Conference,” and Schuller promises 30 “Aha” moments from the 30 different speakers confirmed for the event.
Not everyone is thrilled about this meeting of the minds. Some, including Christian author and former New Age devotee Warren Smith, suspect an agenda to subvert the church – to take the focus off biblical truth and absolutes.
“From my perspective as a former New Age follower, I believe that Robert Schullers mission has always been to rethink and change biblical Christianity into something new – as in New Age/New Spirituality,” he says.
Smiths “Deceived on Purpose: The New Age Implications of the Purpose-Driven Church” documents Schullers contacts and endorsements of New Age stars such as Gerald Jampolsky, Neale Donald Walsch and Bernie Siegel.
“As a former New Age follower I could hardly believe it,” says Smith. “On October 17, 2004, more than 20 years after his first appearance on the Hour of Power, New Age leader Gerald Jampolsky was once again Robert Schullers featured guest. I was not surprised on one level, because I had always been aware of Schullers affection for New Age teachings. What did surprise me was Schullers willingness to still be so openly aligned with a veteran New Age leader like Jampolsky.”
