Earl Paulk
Earl Pearly Paulk, Jr. (May 30, 1927 – March 29, 2009) was the American founder of the Cathedral at Chapel Hill, a charismatic/Pentecostal megachurch in Decatur, Georgia; a suburb of Atlanta. Noted as "one of the country’s first great independent megachurches", it gained an international reputation for combining liturgical arts, such as dance and drama, with cutting edge social ministry." He was also known for his lifelong crusade against racism.
Paulk's reputation was severely tarnished in his later years by allegations of sexual misconduct, including several illicit relationships and accusations that he had molested children.

Famous quotes containing the word earl:
“By all those, who are not much acquainted with him, he was considered infinitely below his level; he put no price upon himself, and consequently went at an undervalue; for the world is complaisant or dupe enough, to give every man the price he sets upon himself, provided it be not insolently and overbearingly demanded. It turns upon the manner of asking.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
