Bishop Clarence McClendon
Ten years ago Bishop Clarence McClendon was known as one of the most dynamic preachers in the Foursquare Gospel denomination. But he claimed the organization was racially biased and pulled his 10,000-member Church of the Harvest International out of the denomination. It was around the same time in 2000 that Bishop McClendon divorced his wife of 16 years and married for a second time just one week after the divorce was declared final. According to Charisma Now, a Christian publication, his ex-wife Tammera said Bishop McClendon told her that God revealed to him who he was supposed to marry. She said she then asked him: “How could God show you another woman when you already have a wife?”
