BISHOP EDDIE LONG SCANDAL-NEWS FROM NEW BIRTH

BISHOP EDDIE LONG DIDN'T SKIP A BEAT, THOUGH THE MEDIA FRENZY HAS BEEN ROUGH ON HIM SINCE THE SCANDAL ALLEGING THAT HE INAPPROPRIATELY TOUCHED "BOYS".  The this is a rough period for Bishop Eddie Long, he still held services at his church, and said that he will continue to do so.

He addressed his congregation, and also the world.  "As a pastor to make this statement, I want to help everybody".  He addressed his "sons and daughters", which consist of other pastors that he's touched the lives of. "This is one of the most difficult moments of my life". He talked about how to handle "Painful and Difficult situations".  His statements were made with the most elegant, humble, and even humors of words, and he handled it well.

This video is of his statements today. The 1st really begins addressing it at the 4:47 marker (go ahead and fast forward if you want).



Part two gets to the point, really.



This is an unfortunate turn of events for Bishop Long. With the Media going haywire on this, it's distracting from what Bishop Long's mission is: and that is to spread the word, to minister, and to assist those in need. All jokes aside, he has been very instrumental in many lives. I hope this doesn't get as bad as the Michael Jackson attacks. Remember, it wasn't until after he died that someone came forth and actually proved his innocence. A scandal like this could dis destroy anyone's faith...and that would be such a tragedy.

Let me make clear that in no way do I promote sexual abuse. However, I am neither judge nor jury. It is my hope that none of the allegations are true though. In the meantime, we'll just have to see how all of this plays out.

Oh, and LuvBugs...the twitter ID @BishopEddieLong is a fake one, so don't believe the hype.
