Regarding the prosperity gospel: I’ve been in over 30 countries in the last several years and the prosperity gospel is spreading like wildfire over Latin America and Africa and parts of Asia. And it’s very strange to see hundreds of thousands of poor Africans or Latin Americans line up to hear one of these prosperity gospel preachers who has four gold rings, drives a limousine, is wearing a $3,000 Italian suit. And they’re coming barefoot and in rags and they’re giving him money. There’s something about this that is deeply distasteful. Brian McLaren ☀
