So I worked for over 3 hours on my part of the power point which deals with Bishop Eddie Long. I started by getting pictures of him which I found on google images. Then I decided I wanted to have some background information on him just so everyone knew who he was. I found this on his Biography section of www.newbirth.org (the church website) I then search for articles about the scandal, and found three really good ones that I used as the basis of my presentation. The articles can be found at:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/10/28/bishop.long/index.html?iref=allsearch
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130370393
These articles then led me to video clips found on youtube and cnn.com- all of which you will see in the presentation. My section might be a little long but I was finding some really good information that dealt with the theme we chose to go with (same-sex marriage in the Christian church)
I found this really good clip, that Steve might even be able to use, although I did add it at the end of my presentation as well. CNN interviews a black pastor who changed his stance on same-sex marriage. He used to be opposed to it (because that is what the church said) and is now for same-sex marriage. He talks about the struggles he has faced and the beliefs behind the Black Church's stance on only homosexual marriage. You can find the clip here:

Those are just a few of the clips, and news articles I used. I sent my project to Steve so he can put them all together for our presentation tomorrow.
Braden and I both have time tomorrow before the presentation so we are going to meet to go over any last details that need to be discussed. Steve- if you have time, we are meeting at 1 in the library. If not, then we will see you at 2 in room 145 to present to Dr. Cooper.
Nice work on all of this guys!
Laura
