In recent days Bishop Eddie Long, the African-American pastor of a mega-church has faced allegations of sexual harassment by male parishioners. He has been accused of using his pulpit to influence young men. This from a preacher who has been consistently against same-sex marriage and has condemned gays and lesbians from the pulpit.
Bishop Long has denied the allegations and said he would fight them.
Here is a wonderful interview with my friend and fellow HRC Religious Council Leader Bishop Carlton Pearson speaking about Bishop Long, human sexuality, the African-American Church and the need for inclusiveness. Bravo to Bishop Pearson. He speaks powerfully and beautifully. You can go to the CNN Page to hear it.
Walking Humbly. Seeking Justice. Living with Hope.
