Letter from Kay Warren
We received the following letter this week from Kay Warren (Wife and co-pastor of Saddleback Church in
Lake Forest, CA)
Hi Todd,
I imagine you have heard the false rumors that we are associates of Martin Ssempa in Uganda. This is to
set the record straight. Feel free to let others know the truth if you think it's helpful. Use this information
judiciously; we do not want to stir the pot and create more conflict and animosity in the gay community in
the US, but we are falsely being accused of approving of Martin. We do not. We know what it's like to be
on the receiving end of being denounced and we prefer to handle conflict more quietly and personally,
but in this situation it seems appropriate.
STATEMENT OF PASTOR RICK & KAY WARREN
REGARDING ACTIVITIES OF MARTIN SSEMPA IN UGANDA
Martin Ssempa does not represent me, my wife Kay, Saddleback Church, nor the Global PEACE Plan
strategy. In 2007, we completely severed contact with Mr. Ssempa when we learned that his views and
actions were in serious conflict with our own. Our role, and the role of the PEACE Plan, whether in Uganda
or any other country, is always pastoral and never political. We vigorously oppose anything that hinders
the goals of the PEACE Plan: Promoting reconciliation, Equipping ethical leaders, Assisting the poor,
Caring for the sick, and Educating the next generation.
