Finally Bishop Eddie Long Steps Down Takes A Leave From The Church

It's about time Sex addict, "pedophile Bishop Eddie Wrong in our opinion is forced out of his own church. Bishop Eddie Long is taking a brief leave from the church he transformed into one of the nation's biggest and most influential, telling congregants at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Sunday he was going to use the time to heal his family.

"I'm still your pastor. You'll still receive my direction," Long said Sunday. "You've given me some weeks to take care of some family business."

Long's wife, Vanessa, filed for divorce late Thursday afternoon. She said Friday morning, via a statement prepared by the church's spokesman, that she had changed her mind but by day's end announced the divorce was on.

In remarks released Friday evening, Long said his love for his wife of 21 years is "deep and unwavering. It remains our sincere desire to continue working together in seeking God’s will in these circumstances."

Long, during Sunday's service, reaffirmed he had no plans to resign, adding he had not "stepped down" but instead "stepped up."

One longtime New Birth observer said the bishop had little choice.

"It's pretty clear from the payouts in the case, declining membership and divorce proceedings that something is wrong," said Anthea Butler, an associate professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania. "Clearly it has shaken things up."

Blah..Blah..Blah..another down low "brother" has been exposed, and understand we have no problem with someone being gay or any other sexuality, but what we don't appreciate is someone hiding behind the word of God to act out there sick fantasy.

We do hope Eddie Long he seeks the help that is needed to heal himself and hopefully which will then heal his family and the followers of New Birth.  So many lies and so much deceit time will tell. Read More
