He also said that the church had hired a Beverly Hills lawyer to explore a lawsuit against The Tampa Tribune.

From the pulpit and in statements, White has blamed critics and the credit union for trying to bring down the church.]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/23329/without-walls-international-church-4/feed 0 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22912/without-walls-international-church-3 http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22912/without-walls-international-church-3#comments Mon, 10 Nov 2008 10:51:06 +0000 Religion News Blog http://www.religionnewsblog.com/?p=22912 In a service notable for its unusual content, the Rev. Randy White, pastor of Without Walls International Church, laid bare the church's financial situation Sunday and its bid to stave off foreclosure of its two campuses.

In his 90-minute sermon, White devoted 30 minutes to talk of the foreclosure proceedings. He spent an hour rebutting a series of articles written by the Tampa Tribune about the church over an 18-month period. White said the coverage had cost the church and its affiliates, which include Paula White Ministries, millions of dollars.

For months there have been signs of financial struggles at Without Walls.

In August, the church's financial controller resigned resigned after Randy White ordered him to pay White's $24,000 American Express bill, even though it would mean the ministry couldn't make payroll for the week.]]> http://www.religionnewsblog.com/22907/without-walls-international-church-2/feed 0
