Just when you thought the shock had worn off from all those stories about sex and the church, a preacher’s wife comes out with a guidebook for straying ministers, their spouses and their mistresses.
In an interview with Essence.com, Dr. Betty Price, wife of megachurch televangelist Dr. Fred K.C. Price, discusses her new book, ‘Warning to Ministers, Their Wives and Mistresses.’ The inspiration for this tome about temptation came from the paramours:
Amanda Kurowski is a 10-year-old homeschooled girl who performs well academically and is socially well-adjusted. But her strong Christian beliefs were reason enough for a New Hampshire court to order her out of homeschooling and into a public school.
The daughter of divorced parents, Amanda has been homeschooled by her mother, Brenda Voydatch since first grade. Her father, Martin Kurowski, is opposed to homeschooling, arguing that it prevents “adequate socialization” for Amanda with other children. He requested that she be placed in a government school.
In the process of renegotiating the terms of a parenting plan for the girl, the Guardian ad Litem – who acts as a fact finder for the court – reported that Amanda was found to “lack some youthful characteristics,” partly because “she appeared to reflect her mother’s rigidity on questions of faith.”
The GAL concluded that Amanda “would be best served by exposure to different points of view at a time in her life when she must begin to critically evaluate multiple systems of belief and behavior and cooperation in order to select, as a young adult, which of those systems will best suit her own needs.”
A bank is suing one North Little Rock’s largest churches for $1.1 million dollars and is asking that the church headquarters be sold at auction.
Regions Bank says Full Counsel Christian Fellowship has failed to pay off a loan on its ministry headquarters building. The bank also wants to sell two smaller tracts of land owned by the church.
The headquarters includes the church’s administrative offices, a bookstore and a Bible-training center. It also houses the church radio station and its School of the Prophets.

I have to admit the name of the school sure did catch my attention. It almost sounds like a school for prophets, like something out of a Harry Potter book or something.
The article goes on to mention that the church has a membership of 4500.
