  • RECENT PENTECOSTAL SCANDALS by Paleo Pat, on April 8Th, 2009
    The Reading Room: RECENT PENTECOSTAL SCANDALS By Paleo Pat, on April 8th, 2009 Reposted from http://www.politicalbyline.com/2009/04/08/the-reading- room-recent-pentecostal-scandals/ From its inception the Pentecostal movement has been marred deeply by scandals, as we have documented in our illustrated 317-page book The Pentecostal-Charismatic Movements: Its History and Its Error. If the movement had the fullness of the Holy Spirit unction and power that it claims, we would not see such an exhibition of the flesh, but in fact moral and other scandals have continued to plague it in recent history. The following are some prominent examples: In 1977 ORAL ROBERTS claimed that God had appeared to him and instructed him to build a medical center called the CITY OF FAITH. In 1980 he claimed that he had a ³face to face´ conversation with a 900-foot-tall Jesus who told him that he was going to solve the City of Faith financial problems. Seven years later, Roberts said that God had appeared to him yet again and told him that he would die if he did not raise $8 million within 12 months. The wild-eyed visions and unrelenting appeals could not save the City of Faith. In 1989 Roberts closed it to pay off debts! Yet the Pentecostal world in general did not decry Roberts as a false prophet and a religious phony. Thousands continued to flock to ORU from Pentecostal churches across the country, and millions of dollars continued to flow into Roberts¶ ministry from gullible supporters. In 1989 JIM BAKKER, head of the very influential Pentecostal PTL television program went to prison for defrauding his followers out of $158 million.

  • Drag Queens and Farting Preachers: American Televangelism, Participatory Media, and Unfaithful Fandoms
    Drag Queens and Farting Preachers: American Televangelism, Participatory Media, and Unfaithful Fandoms by Denis J. Bekkering A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Denis J. Bekkering 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Studies of religion and fandom have generally considered sincere devotion a fundamental point of contact between the two cultural phenomena, an assumption not reflected in fan studies proper. This dissertation aims to expand the scope of research on religion and fandom by offering cultural histories of “unfaithful” fan followings of three controversial American televangelists – Robert Tilton, Tammy Faye Bakker/Messner, and Jim Bakker – dating from the 1980s to 2012, and consisting of individuals amused by, rather than religiously affiliated with, their chosen television preachers. It is argued that through their ironic, parodic, and satirical play with celebrity preachers widely believed to be religious fakes, these unfaithful fans have engaged in religious work related to personal and public negotiations of authentic Christianity. Additionally, it is demonstrated that through their activities, and in particular through their media practices, these fans have impacted the brands and mainstream representations of certain televangelists, and have provoked ministry responses including dismissal, accommodation, and counteraction. iii Acknowledgements Family comes first. My wife Erica is the main reason that this project has been completed.

O ’Neill said Just before o a r i n g the air conditioner in his omce turned off. “let’s start right here.” O’Neill said as the air conditioner was switched off. The governor’s statement echoed an appeal from the New England Power Pool which Friday re­ quested all electric customers to avoid using any unnecessary elect­ ric appliances or lighting until further notice. Jeff Kotkin, a spokesman for Northeast Utilities said the request was made in cooperation with all electric companies in the reckon because several generating plants, both fossil fuel and nuclear, were out of service because of mechani­ cal problems.

OBSERVATIONS ON LEADERSHIP: MORAL AND OTHERWISE WILLIAM ARTHUR WINES* ABSTRACT The literature on leadership is vast.' There are shelves of books on leadership in business, leadership in education, leadership in the military, leadership in politics, etc. An examination of a significant sample of this literature shows a considerable disagreement on what leadership entails. It also reveals a substantial lack of any major inquiry into when leadership is moral and what factors might cause one leader to act morally when another chooses the low road. One aspect of moral leadership that this Article will focus upon is how we can improve our chances of predicting whether a prospective leader will be a moral leader. Although this paper does not resolve that issue, it addresses that problem, examines specific examples of non-leadership, moral leadership, and immoral leadership, offers some insights, and suggests directions for further research.

  • Give Me That Big Time Religion: Adrian Rogers As a Builder in the Southern
    Give me that big time religion: Adrian Rogers as a builder in the Southern Baptist convention, at Bellevue Baptist Church, and with his radio ministry Love Worth Finding, 1972-2005 by Graham M. Weaver B.A., Kansas State University, 2013 A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Approved by: Major Professor Robert D. Linder COPYRIGHT © Graham M. Weaver 2017. ABSTRACT As pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church from 1972 to 2005 and three-time President of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in 1979 and 1986-1988, Adrian Rogers (1931-2005) played an integral role in promoting inerrancy within the SBC. His actions not only moved the SBC in a more conservative direction, if not a fundamentalist one, but also shifted Southern Baptists, politically, in the direction of the Republican Party. However, Rogers’s role in the SBC went further than just politics. His involvement within the SBC, his leadership at Bellevue Baptist Church and its eventual move to Cordova, Tennessee, suggest that Rogers was actually a builder. Love Worth Finding (LWF), has preserved his legacy after his death in 2005. As a result, this thesis argues that Adrian Rogers was not only a preacher, popular grassroots organizer within the SBC, or evangelist, but also a builder. If it had not been for Rogers, the “architectural” blueprint for the SBC would never have become a reality. When Rogers became pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church, the church resided in midtown Memphis and had close to 9,000 members.
