DA Adds Evangelical University to Fraud Case Against Christian Post Owners
For Religion News Service, Mark A. Kellner reports, “New York City authorities have broadened charges against the former owners of Newsweek magazine and the former publisher of the online publication The Christian Post to include a fledgling university connected to a controversial Korean evangelical Christian pastor.” The November 15 indictment alleges that Olivet University and Christian Media Corp., which owns the Christian Post, defrauded lenders. Olivet University was founded in 2000 by Korean pastor David Jang, who has described himself as the “second coming of Christ.”
