Many don’t realize that before we knew  Eddie Long as Bishop and mega church leader he was Pastor Eddie Long and spiritual son to Bishop Paul S. Morton through the Full Gospel Fellowship. Not forgetting his role as spiritual father during this scandal ridden time in Eddie Long’s life , Bishop Morton has decided to make a public plea to Eddie Long.  He wants him to show  remorse and repent publicly so that the healing can begin.

Morton joins a  growing list of ministers speaking out on the issue.  Mega-Church Pastor  Creflo Dollar came out in support of Bishop Eddie Long recently, while Dr. Juanita Bynum and Bishop T.D.  Jakes chose to speak only to say that we all should pray for those  involved. On Sunday,  during his Father’s Day sermon Bishop Morton addressed Bishop Longs lack of humility and repentance over his actions.  He acknowledges that  Eddie Long, who once spoke to him, won’t return his calls.

A member of Eddie Long’s church New Birth had this to say in response to Bishop Morton’s rebuke:

As Bishop Morton said  we pray he heeds Gods voice in this season.
