Carlton Pearson
After college at the Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma he served for 15 years on its Board of Regents, and two years as Associate Evangelist of The Oral Roberts Association, (ORA).
In 1977, Pearson founded Higher Dimensions Ministries (now New Dimensions ), in Tulsa, which grew to over 5,000.
Bishop Pearson was consecrated to the office of Bishop in 1996 thru a College of Bishops headed by Bishop Charles E Blake, presently the Presiding Bishop of the Churches of God In Christ, the denomination he was raised in and through whom he was ordained in 1971.
In 1993, Carlton married the former Gina Marie Gauthier who is a professional Life Coach and Yoga teacher.
More recently, he has felt a passion to proclaim the "Gospel Of Inclusion" and has written a widely acclaimed book by that name, published by Simon and Schuster. It confronts the Christian church's exclusivism as being inconsistent, in spirit with the teachings of Jesus.
Pearson's frank and often controversial take on a number of different subjects has earned him appearances on television programs such as NBC and MSNBC's Dateline, ABC's Nightline, 20/20, Good Morning America, CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, BET Tonight with Tavis Smiley, The Edge with Paula Zahn and Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, The Monique Show on BET, and a number of other television, radio and print media outlets. Bishop Pearson was recognized as one of America's 10 Most Influential Black Ministers by Gospel Today and Belief.net. He has received several honorary doctoral degrees.
Bishop Pearson recently served as the Interim Senior Minister at Christ Universal Temple in Chicago. He and Gina now host New Dimensions of Chicago, building a local multi-cultural and radically Inclusive spiritual community that emphasizes expanded consciousness and Self Actualization. His newest book, God Is Not A Christian, Nor A Jew, Muslim, Hindu...God Dwells With Us, In Us, Around Us, As Us was published by Simon and Schuster and released in the spring of 2010.

He is singing one of many of Carman’s wonderful songs, Serve the Lord.

[@reneegede5384]

Bishop Pearson was the only man in the world who ever succeeded at one of the most racially diverse PROTESTANT churches in the history of the world.

@@ivosimomhezroni4890 yes. It was written & originally recorded by Carman. Carman attended his church in the 80’s and 90’s.

Bishop,I attended your church in the early 90's.How could you turn your back on the one who died for you! what do you do with john 14:6 and acts 4:24?? How can you dismiss the miracles you have seen and even this song? every thing you believe now violates scripture!! If there was a nother way to heaven than why did Christ go to the cross!! I doubt you will answer.but think of eternity and your decisions!!Paul says if another come and preach another gospel let him be eternally accursed.Galations 1.I love you and my heart breaks for you .come back to father's house!!

He didn't turn his back on God; he turned his face toward the Light of Christ. He was right when he said "God rains on the just and the unjust alike," that's the Word. He did, in fact, say He is the God of the Children of Israel AND of the WHOLE WORLD. We had no right to judge Bishop Pearson, because he wasn't wrong. When it comes to gay people, they were here before any of us were born; they'll be here after we're all dead and gone. What do we need to do of them? The same thing God does ... nothing. They will see Him for themselves when the Lord is ready for them.
