Now, Bishop Eddie Long was to be the keynote speaker at the Jesus Rally....I have just read that Coco is reporting that the bishop has decided not to speak at the rally.
Long have stated if his attendance would be a distraction he would rather not come....instead Bernice King, Eddie Jr.and the church youth group will represent New Birth....below is a comment I found on Coco blog which in it self is very telling...it look as if Coco wanted the bishop to remain the keynote speaker... but others did not:
"You want your listeners to believe that everyone is in support of Mr. Long speaking at the conference; this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, there are many who will not attend if Mr. Long is speaking. The allegations that have been brought against Mr. Long are disheartening and has brought division in this city that we love. You said, Coco, that you are “defending the faith” by allowing this man to speak into our spirits. No, Coco, absolutely not! Even Mr. Long is smart enough to know that his presence is not wanted. You should also respect his decision to do so"
