Rex Humbard was the man, but he was Pentecostal and not Baptist. His church was called, Cathedral of Tomorrow. When he stepped down, the cathedral was purchased by Ernest Angely.

Humbard was one of the first to build around both radio and telly broadcasts in 1952 and to offer gimmicks such as prayer cloths and prayer nails, etc.

I don't know what Baptists you are talking about, but ordination is not a simple matter in the circles I travel. In Canada, it is an all day affair, involving many tough questions and pressure by peers. I have seen men called back for a second day.

Cheers,

Yes, in Baptist groups that are more connectional -- that is, where there is a strong sense of being related to a larger fellowship of churches -- ordination is a process that is relatively stringent. But I am thinking of what I have seen over and over in Baptist churches in the southern US, where ordination is performed quite often without reference to the local association or any other body. I have seen people ordained in their teen years, untrained, and sometimes even without much exposure to the ordaining congregation.

Yikes! how sad (and even scary)
