2002 was a crucial year for Bishop Carlton Pearson. Many would say that this was the final year of his "fall" from grace. At this time, he'd lost about 2,000 members, music labels were refusing to release his new Azusa CD due to his newly taken theological beliefs, worst of all, his alma-meter, Oral Roberts University, refused to let him hold his Azusa Conference on their campus anymore. (April 2002 was the last Azusa at ORU Mabee Center). Bishop T.D. Jakes, Bishop Charles Blake, the-late Bishop G.E. Patterson & many others whom Pearson highly regarded & respected came out in opposition to his newly embraced inclusion doctrine. Although Bishop Pearson had embraced & began teaching this doctrine 3/4 years prior, he was still recieving speaking engagements. Such as the case with this video, Bishop Pearson was invited to speak at Greater Mt. Calvary Holy Church, where Bishop Alfred & Susie Owens Pastor, for their New Year Revival. Ironically, Bishop Jakes was scheduled to preach the next two nights after him. Though Bishop Pearson was received warmly on this night, unfortunately, it would be his last time standing in that pulpit to preach. The next time he would be back in that pulpit would be the following year, 2003, to stand before the Joint College of Bishops, to present the inclusion doctrine. In 2004, the College declared his teachings as unorthodox and heretical by the Bishops Congress. Although many have mixed views about Bishop Pearson, he STILL has meant so much to the body of Christ & we should not forget the paths that he has trail-blazed over the years, even when it wasn't popular. We love you Bishop! Continued Prayers For You!
