| Résumé: | Bishop Eddie Long is a black televangelist based in Atlanta. In 2005, he was censured in the local press for accepting over three million dollars (including a $1.4 million home and a $350,000 car) in compensation from a nonprofit charity he had started 10 years prior. Long defended himself in the press by explaining, “We're not just a church, we're an international corporation. We're not just a bumbling bunch of preachers who can't talk and all we're doing is baptizing babies. I deal with the White House. I deal with Tony Blair. I deal with presidents around this world. I pastor a multimillion dollar congregation. You've got to put me on a different scale than the little black preacher sitting over there that's supposed to be just getting by because the people are suffering” (137). |
