Pearson Facebook News Today

Despite being ostracized in life by many traditional churches after he rejected the orthodox idea of Hell at the height of his work as a pastor, multiple churches, including Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, will celebrate the life of former megachurch Pastor Bishop Carlton Pearson, who died on Nov. 19 after a brief battle with cancer.

Pearson embraced a different, more inclusive philosophy of faith, but was branded as a heretic.

Carlton Pearson's agent Will Bogle told the Associated Press that Pearson died Sunday night in hospice care in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A sign in front of a Catholic church along a busy South Omaha corridor fired up furor, hurt feelings and political emotions Monday — before church officials replaced the message with the words: “Lo Siento (Sorry).” 

Susan and Michael Pearson now own South River Custom Cornhole, a business that builds custom sets of the bean bag game. Advertising only through social media, the Pearsons sell 10 to 15 sets a week at prices ranging from $100 to nearly $300 each.
