...Disappointingly, but not surprisingly there was a mostly liberal make up of panel members, including a couple of panelists who (based on their beliefs) cannot be considered Christians at all: Rev. Johnnie Coleman, the head of Christ Universal Temple, right here in Chicago. Her teachings are unashamedly and undeniably from the Unity School of Christianity (she attended in Lee Summit, MO), and Rev. Carlton Pearson who quite recently has espoused the doctrine of inclusion.
