Bruce
Wilkinson—with Schuller and Warren, and "God's Dream"
On
October 26, 2003, Bruce Wilkinson stood in front of the
Crystal Cathedral congregation with Robert Schuller and said:"Of
all places in the world to talk about dreams this is the place
... because I think Dr. Schuller is the patriarch, in the work
about living your dream."—Hour
of Power with Bruce Wilkinson, Living the Dream
One
week later, Wilkinson stood with Rick Warren at Saddleback and
shared his "Dream" with them. —What does Wilkinson's
Dream entail that would interest both Robert Schuller and Rick
Warren?
And
what does Bruce Wilkinson think of Robert Schuller's ministry?
— "I
love this church. I love being here. I love walking on this
property. I just felt like I was one step away from heaven when
I came on this property this morning."—Bruce
Wilkinson at Crystal Cathedral, April 2005
"Bruce
Wilkinson, author of Prayer of Jabez,
does his part in bringing this new spirituality into Christendom by
accepting universalist Robert Schuller's invitation to speak at the Robert Schuller Leadership Institute
this past January. Bill Hybels, senior pastor of Willow Creek and
Foursquare President Jack Hayford joined Wilkinson at this year's
event." Read

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that
uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness
(the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped
in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality
is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common
terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the
silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom,"
"spiritual disciplines," and many others.
Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.
