The Willow Creek Leadership Summit 2009

Hmmm...I wonder if Mr. Hybels, pastor of Willow Creek Church, has invited Mr. Blair to chat with all the leaders and pastors who flock to hear him about his interfaith work, or perhaps his born-again story...you know, the rebirthing ritual he and his wife had in the Mayan pyramid sweat lodge (in fact, some have reported he liked it so much he has done it twice):

Here's how it happened:

The Blairs, however, preferred a gentler, A-mock-alypto Mayan vibe. Holidaying on the Mexican Riviera in August 2001, they underwent a "rebirthing ritual" in a temazcal - a Mayan steam bath which represents the womb. Herb-infused water was thrown over heated lava rocks to create a cleansing sweat and balance the Blairs' "energy flow", while their therapist, Nancy Aguilar, told the credulous couple to imagine animal-shapes in the steam and explained what such visions meant.

The Prime Minister of Great Britain and his wife, a Crown Court judge, wished for peace on earth, then screamed to signify the pain of rebirth before venturing outside again.

They were offered watermelon and papaya, then told to smear any uneaten fruit over each other's bodies, along with mud from the jungle outside. They then walked hand in hand down the beach to swim in the sea.

Surely Mr. Hybels is aware of who he is bringing in to speak at his church. Oh, by the way, another guest speaker at this year's Willow Creek Summit (via telecast) is former guest, Bono. (For Bono's spirituality, see Bono, Universalism, and the Emerging Church.)

No further comment necessary.

Note: To find out if your church is a misinformed member of the Willow Creek Association (and supporter of their yearly interfaith apostasy), see here (in Canada) and here (in the U.S.). I mention this because a lot of Canadian churches are not only members, but also encourage their leaders to attend the annual WC Summits (via satellite).
