Bishop Eddie Long live
Bishop Eddie Long today responded to charges made against him this week that he coerced two men into an intimate relationship. He was speaking at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Georgia and made reference to the lawsuit as part of his sermon.
It was supposed to be streamed online on the "streaming faith" religious stream but had to be abandoned. Sources say it was related to the overload of traffic the bishop has received but that hasn't been confirmed. Eddie Long said “There have been allegations and attacks made on me,” Long said during his sermon. “I have never in my life portrayed myself as a perfect man. But I am not that man that’s being portrayed on the television.” He then went on to declare his defiance to the allegations and that he will continue fighting them. However the bishop didn't take the opportunity to shed more light on the matter or use any information to help his case. There was a big hype regarding the event today but it turned out to be rather anti-climatic in it's promise.
