MEGA-CHURCH ‘PASTOR’ REVERS MOHAMED AS WELL AS CHRIST…….

Lunatic.

Call yourself a Bahai and be done with it.

After much soul searching, D.E. established his church based around one principle: ‘Christ cannot be, and will not be, restricted to Christianity’.  

Mega-church Pastor – who discovered aged 34 that his Archbishop uncle was his father – reveals how he found peace by opening a ‘radically inclusive’ church in Atlanta that reveres Mohammed as well as Christ

Pain: After Earl's death in 2009, D.E.went through a great deal of soul-searching and decided to open his own church that recognised all faiths

  • D.E. Paulk, 42, runs a controversial church where all religions are equal
  • This is his way of dealing with the pain of learning at the age of 34 that his charismatic, Archbishop uncle was really his biological father 
  • He grew up in the notorious Cathedral of the Holy Spirit at Chapel Hill in Atlanta, which was famous for its riches and sex scandals
  • The 7,000-seat church had 12,000 members in the early Nineties, but a series of abuse allegations caused it to fall from grace

A mega-church pastor who discovered at the age of 34 that his Archbishop uncle was actually his father has revealed how he found peace: by founding a ‘radically inclusive’ church that recognises Mohammed as well as Christ.

D.E. Paulk, 42, was brought up in the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit at Chapel Hill.

Once the fourth biggest ‘mega-church’ in the United States, it occupied a purpose-built, $12million building with 7,000 seats, and boasted 12,000 members at its peak in the early Nineties.

But a series of sex scandals and financial difficulties brought the church established by D.E.’s parents and uncle to its knees.

Speaking to CNN, D.E. has revealed how it was the family’s ultimate scandal – the fact his Archbishop uncle was his biological father – which finally gave him the strength to create a church based around his own beliefs.

The Spirit and Truth Sanctuary, which D.E founded in 2012, welcomes everyone from Wiccans to atheists, Hindus to Muslims, recognising all gods and prophets, including Mohammed.

‘[Scandal] has a way of wiping out the things that keep you from being authentic,’ he said.

‘All you have left is who you are. The games are gone… If there was anything I wanted to say I thought would be unacceptable to the church, now is the time to say it.’ 

After much soul searching, D.E. established his church based around one principle: ‘Christ cannot be, and will not be, restricted to Christianity’.  

He preaches a message of inclusion, and tells his congregation ‘the truth’ is not limited to the Bible, but can be found in all creation – even other religions.

  1. “… by founding a ‘radically inclusive’ church that recognises Mohammed as well as Christ…”

    the real question here is : recognises mohammed as a what?

    Seriously, this guy is totally lost. A pastor??? Talk about the blind leading the blind! So in the interests of anti-discrimination and feelgoodism, why not include Gautama Buddha, Krishna, Vivekananda, Bahai’Ullah, Meher Baba, Guru Nanak etc in the panoply of worshipful personages in his church? In fact, virtually any worthy , decent human being , anybody other than Mo.

    1. Cult churches are not uncommon in the US, disturbingly so.
