Willow Creek church in IL

I did a quick board search through some of the articles and posts (and saw in one post that there have been some spinoff pastors and authors out of that church who are in error) but just the quick browse I did didn't seem to produce specific apostate teachings.
What do they teach?
Thanks. :)
(This was to have posted in the apostate forum, not apologetics...oops!)

"We created a self-guided experience in the chapel, a contemplative worship service with Scripture reading, reflection, praise and prayer. You could choose how much to participate in, with the option of going to different areas in the chapel that would allow you to more fully engage." —Pam Howell, Willow Creek

"Imagine one Sunday morning you go to your local Christian church and find that something very odd is going on. As you approach the church building, a stranger wearing a "Gay Pride" T-shirt opens the door for you and says, "Come in. God loves you just the way you are!" Confused, you hurry to the worship service and find that a New Age guru has been invited to preach. After the error-filled sermon, you stagger to your Sunday School class and hear the shocking claim that Christ is NOT the only way to heaven, but that eternal life can be found in all religions. You are then asked to seek a spirit guide to verify this "truth" through Eastern meditation."—Chris Carmichael, When Churches Promote Books Instead of the Book
