Earl Paulk, the celebrity archbishop of a Protestant mega-church in the Atlanta suburbs is facing the scandal of his life after his family revealed at the pulpit that he had slept with his brother's wife and fathered a child by her.
This isn't the first time Paulk has been embroiled in a sex scandal...
He was forced out of the first church he pastored, the Hemphill Church of God, because of an extramarital affair to which he later admitted.
Following this a member of the parish, Mona Brewer, accused Archbishop Paulk of manipulating her into an affair that lasted 14 years, from 1989 to 2003, by telling her that sleeping with him was her surest path to eternal salvation (that old chestnut eh!)
A ghostwriter who helped write Earl Paulk's autobiography, also said she had an affair with him lasting two years.
Despite this, the 80-year-old pastor has led a charmed existence, fending off sexual harassment suits while also earning praise from politicians all the way up to the President of the United States for his "extraordinary work for God and the community".
The secret of Archbishop Paulk's love child was exposed by a court-ordered paternity test as part of a perjury investigation, and confirmed to the congregation of the Chapel Hill Harvester Church by none other than the love child himself, 34-year-old D E Paulk, who had been known until then as the archbishop's nephew.
