Evangelical pastor Rick Warren has offered to open the campus of his California megachurch to conservative Anglicans who have broken with the Episcopal Church.

Warren, a best-selling author and prominent preacher, wrote to 30 Anglican leaders on January 9, two days after California’s Supreme Court ruled that Episcopal churches that break with their denomination are not entitled to keep church property.

Episcopal bishop J. Jon Bruno of the large Los Angeles diocese was “overjoyed” at the recent California Supreme Court ruling that said breakaway congregations cannot take possession of their properties, which are held in trust for a larger church body.
