Actually, that was Oral Robert's ploy to complete the "City of Faith"
hospital on the campus of Oral Roberts University. It was completed
(however a lot of floors were vacant last I heard).

In other news, the new Episcopal Bishop of New Hampshire has now approved
Oral Roberts between consenting adults.

Tee hee.

It's starting to sound suspiciously like a fund-raising drama.
Now, what was the name of that tele-vangelist who implored his
listeners
to ante up or else the "Lord would call him home..."?

Don't know. The locked gates and shut down utilities are evidence of
the dispute, but otherwise I just have James Latham's version of what's
happening. Sometimes he says the University isn't offering any reason
why they want RFPI out. Sometimes he says it's censorship.

The televangelist was Oral Roberts. Not only didn't Oral get the all
the money he asked for, but he didn't get called back, either. It must
have been an unpleasant revelation for poor 'ol Oral to realize that God
might not have been taking him seriously enough.
