While tending to two firestick plants in his yard Monday, milky resin from the plant got into Warren's eyes when he wiped his brow, church spokesman Larry Ross said. "He experienced excruciating pain -- on a scale of one to 10 it was a 12,'' Ross said.

On Thursday Warren thanked his followers on Twitter for their prayers. "May God use this pain for His Glory," Warren tweeted. He tweeted that protective contacts had been placed on his corneas as bandages to help them heal. "I am NOT blind," he tweeted. ]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/24823/pastor-rick-warren-recovering-after-gardening-accident/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23077/rick-warren-2 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23077/rick-warren-2#comments Fri, 19 Dec 2008 19:37:39 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=23077 The clergy chosen by President-elect Barack Obama to pray at his inauguration fill separate symbolic roles: One is a nod to the civil rights activists who made Obama's election possible. The other is an overture to conservative Christians who rankles some Obama supporters.

The Rev. Rick Warren, who will give the invocation, is the most influential pastor in the United States, and a choice that has already caused problems for Obama.

The Rev. Joseph Lowery, 87, is considered the dean of the civil rights movement. For the benediction at the Jan. 20 swearing-in, he says he will pray that the "spirit of fellowship and oneness" at the inauguration endures throughout Obama's presidency. ]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23077/rick-warren-2/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/20541/rick-warren http://www.religionnewsblog.com/20541/rick-warren#comments Wed, 06 Feb 2008 00:05:49 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/20541/rick-warren http://www.religionnewsblog.com/20541/rick-warren/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17672/rick-warren-and-purpose-driven-strife http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17672/rick-warren-and-purpose-driven-strife#comments Thu, 08 Mar 2007 19:49:28 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17672/rick-warren-and-purpose-driven-strife http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17672/rick-warren-and-purpose-driven-strife/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17087/rick-warrens-second-reformation http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17087/rick-warrens-second-reformation#comments Tue, 09 Jan 2007 14:24:32 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17087/rick-warrens-second-reformation http://www.religionnewsblog.com/17087/rick-warrens-second-reformation/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16739/message-from-a-megachurch http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16739/message-from-a-megachurch#comments Wed, 06 Dec 2006 05:18:27 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16739/message-from-a-megachurch http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16739/message-from-a-megachurch/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16738/obama-tells-evangelicals-that-politics-has-no-role-in-aids-fight http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16738/obama-tells-evangelicals-that-politics-has-no-role-in-aids-fight#comments Fri, 01 Dec 2006 05:04:00 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16738/obama-tells-evangelicals-that-politics-has-no-role-in-aids-fight http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16738/obama-tells-evangelicals-that-politics-has-no-role-in-aids-fight/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16669/famed-pastor-rick-warren-defends-invitation-to-obama http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16669/famed-pastor-rick-warren-defends-invitation-to-obama#comments Wed, 29 Nov 2006 16:31:28 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16669/famed-pastor-rick-warren-defends-invitation-to-obama http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16669/famed-pastor-rick-warren-defends-invitation-to-obama/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16597/rick-warrens-spiritual-spin-doctor http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16597/rick-warrens-spiritual-spin-doctor#comments Tue, 21 Nov 2006 01:52:46 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16597/rick-warrens-spiritual-spin-doctor http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16597/rick-warrens-spiritual-spin-doctor/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16607/megachurch-pastor-rick-warren-riles-some-in-christian-right-with-foray-to-syria http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16607/megachurch-pastor-rick-warren-riles-some-in-christian-right-with-foray-to-syria#comments Fri, 17 Nov 2006 03:10:33 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16607/megachurch-pastor-rick-warren-riles-some-in-christian-right-with-foray-to-syria http://www.religionnewsblog.com/16607/megachurch-pastor-rick-warren-riles-some-in-christian-right-with-foray-to-syria/feed 0
