Scandals At The Altar: 10 Black Church Leaders Who’ve Incited Controversy and Doubt
Bishop Thomas Weeks III
Bishop Thomas Weeks III became a household name in Black Christian circles when he married Prophetess and televangelist Juanita Bynum in 2002. Together they built Global Destiny Ministries based in Duluth, GA into an influential ministry. Five years later, the best selling author of No More Sheets filed for divorce from her husband. Shortly afterwards, the battle went public as Weeks attacked his estranged wife in the parking lot of Atlanta’s Renaissance Concourse Hotel. Bynum revealed in a Divorce Court interview that she had battled with depression and thoughts of suicide after separating from her husband. Dr. Bynum has gone on to form a recording label, SonFlower Records, as a joint venture with Matthew Knowles’ Music World Gospel label.
