No Mediation For Evangelists

Bishop Thomas Weeks and his lawyers got stood up by Weeks' estranged wife Juanita Bynum and her attorney after an agreed date for mediation in the couple's pending divorce case.

Bynum's attorney Karla Walker had already told opposing counsel that she had a conflict with a criminal case three hours away from the offices where the mediation was to be held. Bynum herself is reported to be at a funeral in Chicago.

Weeks' attorney stated that he has been trying to get a meeting with both Bynum and Walker since October 1 and presented both with over 20 dates, none of which suited both parties. However, Walker is quick to say that her client is not trying to hold up the proceedings, it's simply unfortunate timing.

Weeks is attempting to proceed with the divorce hearing even though he has stated he's willing to try and fix his marriage. Of course, he also says since this seems to be what his estranged spouse wants, he will support the decision.

Isn't that sweet?

This whole debacle started after Bynum accused her husband of choking and beating her in an Atlanta parking garage in August of 2007. Weeks is still facing charges on those accusations, but has yet to resign or step down as head of Global Destiny Ministries.

I'd be willing to bet they'll take quite a hit if he turns up guilty. No pun intended.

The mediation will be rescheduled, and Weeks' attorney has petitioned the court to force Bynum to sit down for a deposition.

I suppose the verdict will show whose side God is really on.
