A compelling, charismatic preacher, both hailed and criticized nationally for embracing
the concept of universal salvation, Bishop
Pearson candidly tells of his revelations, his journey to a freer faith, and what it cost him in fundamentalist circles in Tulsa. His long-awaited book “The Gospel of Inclusion”
is now available.
I earnestly stand for the right of private interpretation,
judgment and guidance of God in an illuminated conscience; yet, at the same time, I desire to apprehend with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and the depth and height, and to know the love of Christ which passes all knowledge, the truest and most accurate
perception.
