Controversial Megachurch Founder Carlton Pearson Dies at 70

Bishop Carlton D. Pearson, a prominent evangelical pastor who was ostracized by his congregation and peers after questioning the existence of hell and advocating for gay rights, has died at the age of 70. Pearson, once a leading figure in the evangelical establishment, was branded a heretic and lost most of his congregation after expressing his belief in universal salvation and the "gospel of inclusion." Despite facing significant backlash and losing his church, Pearson found a new audience among liberal Christians and in the media, with his story being portrayed in the Netflix movie "Come Sunday."
