Carlton Pearson

Carlton Pearson is a minister at the New Dimensions Church, the United Church of Christ denomination in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After a run-in with reality in which he watched the suffering of Rwandans on TV, he began to doubt the traditional concept of hell. "How can a just god do this?" he thought. He then came up with the Gospel of Inclusion, the doctrine that states that everyone is destined to heaven and that hell actually exists on earth. For this he was formally recognized as a heretic by the Joint College of African-American Pentecostal Bishops in March 2004. Pearson is now the senior pastor at the New Dimensions Church despite witnessing the mass exodus from his congregation.

Must-hear radio: Pearson on This American Life in December 2005.
