After news that Pastor Rick Warren’s son had committed suicide,
the popular evangelical pastor spoke out Sunday, asking his
congregation to pray for his family as they cope with the loss. "He had a
brilliant intellect and a gift for sensing who was most in pain or most
uncomfortable in a room,” Warren said. Matthew, 27, had long been
plagued with suicidal thoughts and severe depression. In an email to his
congregation, Warren said he and his wife had shared a “fun Friday
evening” with their son before he allegedly decided to take his own life
in a “momentary wave of despair.”
