About the Saddleback Civil Forum Event
At the candidates’ request, this two-hour event was held in a non-debate format, and was opened to all media. Both candidates requested that questions be posed exclusively by Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, rather than by a panel or members of the audience. Each candidate conversed separately with Warren for approximately an hour, beginning with Sen. Obama, as determined by a coin toss.

This historic forum was the only joint event for the two, and the last public appearance for either candidate prior to the two-week hiatus during each party’s national convention.
