Asian-American Christians see insensitivity in Saddleback Church Facebook post

By Take Two Staff
Published Oct 17, 2013
A post on Saddlebrook megachurch Pastor Rick Warren's Facebook page had the caption "The typical attitude of Saddleback Staff as they start work each day.” He later removed it with an apology, but not before upsetting some Asian-American evangelicals, because the image apparently depicts a woman dressed in the garb of Mao Zedong’s Red Guard.
