The Associated Press - DECATUR, Ga.
A megachurch minister has been accused by one of his former employees of coercing her to have sex with him and others in the church, telling her it was "the will of God" and "her only route to salvation."
Bishop Earl Paulk of the Chapel Hill Harvester in Decatur has denied Mona and Bobby Brewer's allegations and is countersuing the couple for libel and slander.
WAGA-TV reported last week that the Brewers filed the lawsuit in DeKalb Superior Court. In the lawsuit, Mona Brewer also names Paulk as her former spiritual adviser and her husband, Bobby, was a pastor in Paulk's church and looked up to him as a spiritual mentor. They have both since left the church.
