ATLANTA, Dec 31 2016 – After months of recovering from an undisclosed illness, the Atlanta megachurch pastor Bishop Eddie Long returned to the pulpit looking scarily thinner than his last public appearance.
Back in September, Long admitted he was dealing with a “health challenge.” However, he never stated exactly what the illness was. Whatever the illness, it has made the Bishop virtually unrecognizable.
Long returned to New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and photos of his highly-anticipated appearance surfaced online Wednesday (Dec. 28). His emaciated look shocked social media, with some still wondering if the Bishop was battling HIV or even AIDS. (Such diagnoses are still unfounded).
