Mega Churches?
In light of the Bishop Long scandal, CNN had an author of a book that talks a lot about mega churches.
He was asked why do congregations put up with a man that is driving bentlys and sporting all the jewelry and private jets. He said that essentially it's our culture. We are a personality driven culture. Everyone wants to be famous or know someone famous and being in a mega church makes people feel they are closely connected with someone famous and or someone that rubs elbows with someone famous. This in part justifies their wealth and lifestyles as well. It was interesting
