Bishop Earl Paulk's Torch of Scandal Handed Down to Bishop Long [Part 2]

This is part two of pastors whom appear to be scandalous, not all by being mentored by Bishop Earl Paulk, but we can say there is a strong connection of scandal present.

We (AT2W) have researched and have actually covered extensive news on our Bishop Eddie Long page who was accused by four men Jamal Parris, Anthony Flagg, Maurice Robinson and Spencer LeGrande of sexual misconduct in Sept. 2010. The four men alleged Bishop Long lavished them with money, cars, apartments and trips while being members the church at ages as young as 14 years old. The pastor has since paid the young men off in an undisclosed settlement this year in May 2011. There was also an unknown 5th accuser, Centino Kemp who joined in the settlement but not everyone is believing his story completely.

But let’s not get into this news right now because it is just the fall after the rise of Bishop Eddie Long. In the beginning, Bishop Long became pastor of Traveler’s Rest Baptist church in Scottsdale, Ga near Atlanta in 1984 when Kenneth Samuels was pastor. There was a group of pastors at the church including Bishop Eddie Long and because Long could bring in more members, he was chosen to be the pastor of the church. Samuels admitted later that the people of the church felt Long could do a better job at growing the church than he could. Consequently, Samuels had members follow him to start his gay affirming Victory Church in Stone Mountain, Ga. Samuels’ wife subsequently divorced him after the ‘changes’ set in.

Pastors Mentored By Bishop Earl Paulk Allegedly Carried The Torch of Scandal [Part 2] | AT2W

The Tree of Bishop Earl Paulk May Have Produced Bad Fruit in Those He Mentored

It's no surprise nor a shock to hear about the many pastors across the globe who carry some level of scandal behind their names. There are probably so many that we can't count. Nonetheless, there are some that have been associated almost to the hip of one prominent pastor and bishop. This pastor would be: the late Bishop Earl Paulk. This article will be the first of many that will focus on who was tied to Bishop Earl Paulk, the scandals that followed them and ultimately a surprise at the end about who, in our opinion may be cursed from their association.

Now let's get some background on Bishop Earl Paul.

Earl Paulk was the founder of the Cathedral at Chapel Hill, a charismatic/Pentecostal megachurch in Decatur, Georgia; a suburb of Atlanta. Paulk's reputation was severely tarnished in his later years by allegations of sexual misconduct, including several illicit relationships and accusations that he had molested children.

Now, as you can see or remember, Bishop Earl Paulk had much scandal in his church and affected many people's lives. He also mentored many other pastors who became well known all over the world as well as in the Christian church. Unfortunately, these pastors have a stigma attached to their names. This is not to be written to bring up their past troubles but it is critical to note that a bad tree can not produce good fruit. Paulk evidently produced (mentored) bad fruit because his tree was corrupt and rotten from the roots. Its a sad case but it is very true.
