Bishop '''Carlton D'Metrius Pearson''', [[Doctor of Divinity|D.D.]] (born [[March 19]], [[1953]] in [[San Diego, California]]) is an [[United States|American]] [[singer]] and a [[minister of religion|minister]] in the [[United Church of Christ]] religious denomination. <ref name="UCC">{{citeweb|url=http://www.ucc.org/news/ten-minutes-with-carlton.html|title=Ten Minutes with Carlton|accessdate=2007-11-29}}</ref>


==Early career==
'''Crabs''' are [[Decapoda|decapod]] [[crustacean]]s of the infraorder '''Brachyura''', which typically have a very short projecting "tail" ({{lang-el|βραχύ''/''brachy}} = short, ''ουρά''/''οura'' = tail), or where the reduced abdomen is entirely hidden under the thorax. They are generally covered with a thick [[exoskeleton]], and are armed with a single pair of [[claw|chelae]] (claws). 6,793 species are known.<ref>Walters, Martin & Johnson, Jinny. ''The World of Animals''. [[Bath, Somerset]]: [[Parragon]], 2007.</ref> Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans. Additionally, there are also many [[fresh water|freshwater]] and [[Land crab|terrestrial crabs]], particularly in tropical regions. Crabs vary in size from the [[pea crab]], only a few [[millimetre]]s wide, to the [[Japanese spider crab]], with a leg span of up to 4&nbsp;[[metre|m]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://oceanlink.island.net/records.html |title=Biggest, Smallest, Fastest, Deepest: Marine Animal Records |publisher=OceanLink |accessmonthday=September 22 |accessyear=2006}}</ref>
Bishop Pearson attended [[Oral Roberts University]], and was mentored by [[Oral Roberts]]. He was licensed and ordained in the [[Church of God in Christ]]. <ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.newdimensions.us/content.cfm?id=2008|title=New Dimensions Information page|accessdate=2007-11-29}}</ref> Pearson formed his own [[church (building)|church]], [[Higher Dimensions]], which became one of the largest in the city of [[Tulsa, Oklahoma]]. During the 1990s it grew to an attendance of over 5,000 and in 1997 Pearson was ordained a [[bishop]]. In 2000 he campaigned for [[George W. Bush]] and following the presidential inauguration was invited to the [[White House]].


===Controversy in ministry and resulting media coverage===
==Diet==
{{rquote|right|A person who spends every day getting drunk, will ruin their health, marriage, family and career; they will make their lives a living Hell. But that still falls far short of the chronic alcoholic being condemned by a just God to literally burn in Hell forever and ever.
Crabs are decapods—ten-legged omnivores—but the front pair of legs are specialised with enlarged claws, so they are often described as eight-legged. Some species feed primarily on algae, while others take any type of food, including mollusks, worms, other crustaceans, fungi, bacteria, and detritus, depending on availability and on the species of crab. For many species, a mixed diet of plant and animal matter results in the fastest growth and greatest fitness.
For others it may very well be that the punishment merited by their sins is greater than what they receive in this life. For those people perhaps there will be some kind of punishment after death, but we believe that it will be remedial and corrective rather than just punishment for punishment's sake. Exactly what that will be and how long it will last we don't know. Will Hell for some people last 10 minutes or 10 million years... we don't know. But this we do know; Hell will not last for eternity; it will not be endless... Don't sin. Be reunited with God now, rather than after you have put yourself (and those you love) through Hell.|Bishop Pearson's belief in hell as stated on his website <ref>[http://www.inclusion.ws/faq1.htm Frequently Asked Questions about Inclusion<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> }}


Then after viewing a television program which depicted the wretched conditions of people dying in [[Rwanda]], and considering the teaching of his church that non-Christians were destined for hell, Pearson felt he had received an [[Epiphany (feeling)|epiphany]] from [[God]], and stated that he doubted the concept of [[hell]] as it has been traditionally taught. In February 2002 he lost a primary bid for the mayorship of Tulsa.<ref>[http://charismamag.com/articles/index.php?id=5807 "Pearson's Gospel of Inclusion' Stirs Controversy"] Charisma Magazine, May, 2002</ref> By then Pearson had begun to call his doctrine&mdash;a variation on [[universal reconciliation]]&mdash;the ''Gospel of Inclusion'', and many in his [[Wiktionary:congregation|congregation]] began to leave.

Although other groups have also undergone similar processes of [[carcinisation]], it is most advanced in crabs. The [[telson]] is no longer functional in crabs, and the [[uropod]]s are absent, having probably evolved into small devices for holding the reduced abdomen tight against the sternum.<ref>{{cite journal | quotes=no |author=Guinot, D & J.–M.

[[Image:Sea pen porcelain crab.jpg|right|thumbnail|A porcelain crab nestled in its sea pen host both waiting to capture floating food items at night. Found on the North coast of [[Timor-Leste.]]]]In most decapodes, the [[gonopore]]s (sexual openings) are found on the legs. However, since crabs use the first two pairs of [[pleopod]]s (abdominal appendages) for [[sperm transfer]], this arrangement has changed. As the male abdomen evolved into a narrower shape, the gonopores have moved towards the midline, away from the legs, and onto the [[Sternum (arthropod)|sternum]].<ref>{{cite journal | quotes=no |author=De Saint Laurent, M. |year=1980 |title=Sur la classification et la phylogénie des Crustacés Décapodes Brachyoures.

Carlton Pearson

Bishop Carlton D'Metrius Pearson, D.D. (born March 19, 1953 in San Diego, California) is an American singer and a minister in the United Church of Christ religious denomination. [1]

Early career

Bishop Pearson attended Oral Roberts University, and was mentored by Oral Roberts. He was licensed and ordained in the Church of God in Christ. [2] Pearson formed his own church, Higher Dimensions, which became one of the largest in the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. During the 1990s it grew to an attendance of over 5,000 and in 1997 Pearson was ordained a bishop. In 2000 he campaigned for George W. Bush and following the presidential inauguration was invited to the White House.

Controversy in ministry and resulting media coverage

A person who spends every day getting drunk, will ruin their health, marriage, family and career; they will make their lives a living Hell. But that still falls far short of the chronic alcoholic being condemned by a just God to literally burn in Hell forever and ever. For others it may very well be that the punishment merited by their sins is greater than what they receive in this life. For those people perhaps there will be some kind of punishment after death, but we believe that it will be remedial and corrective rather than just punishment for punishment's sake. Exactly what that will be and how long it will last we don't know. Will Hell for some people last 10 minutes or 10 million years... we don't know. But this we do know; Hell will not last for eternity; it will not be endless... Don't sin. Be reunited with God now, rather than after you have put yourself (and those you love) through Hell.

— Bishop Pearson's belief in hell as stated on his website [3]

Then after viewing a television program which depicted the wretched conditions of people dying in Rwanda, and considering the teaching of his church that non-Christians were destined for hell, Pearson felt he had received an epiphany from God, and stated that he doubted the concept of hell as it has been traditionally taught. In February 2002 he lost a primary bid for the mayorship of Tulsa.[4] By then Pearson had begun to call his doctrine—a variation on universal reconciliation—the Gospel of Inclusion, and many in his congregation began to leave.

In March 2004, after hearing Bishop Pearson's argument for inclusion, the Joint College of African-American Pentecostal Bishops reached the conclusion that such teaching was heresy. [1] Officially recognised as a heretic, the once very popular Bishop Carlton Pearson rapidly began to lose his influence. [5]

Bishop Pearson's story was the subject of an episode entitled "Heretics" on Chicago Public Radio's This American Life, which aired on December 16, 2005. [6] This was followed by a profile on Dateline NBC on August 13, 2006.[7]

Pearson was the subject of a CNN story on June 24th, 2007 which covered his change to a more inclusive policy (including acceptance of LGBT people into his church) and the resulting negative backlash from the evangelical community. [8]

Current ministry

Bishop Pearson was accepted in the United Church of Christ and is now the founder and senior pastor of New Dimensions Church in Tulsa.

Musical career

Bishop Pearson is also a gospel vocalist who has won two Stellar Awards and was nominated for a Dove Award. [9]
