Living Prophet Series:
Bishop Carlton Pearson
"God is Not a Christian"
7-9PM
Join us for this very special evening with Bishop Carlton Pearson and Rev. David Alexander. Special music inspiration by LaRhonda Steele, The Group, the NTCSL House Band and our Choir - this will be an evening feast for the ears, the mind and the heart that you don't want to miss!
Are you ready to think differently and engage in new thought? Bishop Carlton Pearson is blazing a new trail of spiritual leadership on a global scale with friendly, fresh and inclusive faith consciousness. Get ready to shed old beliefs about God and forget about going to hell…discover the truth as God created it and not as it was interpreted by institutionalized religion.
Bishop Pearson is a popular spiritual leader who is adopting a more embracing and welcoming approach to faith. He is committed to reconciling differences, celebrating our diversity and acknowledging oneness. As the author of The Gospel of Inclusion and the soon to be released, God is Not a Christian, Bishop Pearson advocates the view that God is not limited to or defined by one religion. God dwells with us, in us, around us and as us. Take this unique opportunity to hear this dynamic spiritual leader on the cutting edge and be a part of what could eventually become mainstream theology.

Interim Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple
Carlton Pearson is blazing a new trail of spiritual leadership on a global scale. With 30 years of celebrated national media exposure, Pearson has demonstrated that he is an esteemed, articulate, and leading authority of the modern Pentecostal church in . With the summer 2006 release of his new book, The Gospel of Inclusion, Pearson is quickly becoming known as “a voice of reason in a world of religious extremes.”
Rejected over the last several years by mainstream Christian leadership, Bishop Carlton Pearson has been declared a modern-day heretic for questioning the teaching of Christian doctrine that promotes a loving God who would sentence billions of people to an eternal hell for not becoming Christian, a discussion which has come to be known as the Gospel of Inclusion.
