Ole Anthony
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ole Anthony is the current editor of The Door. He was the subject of a lengthy profile in the December 6, 2004 issue of The New Yorker. As head of the Trinity Foundation, he is also involved in investigating televangelists.
Anthony's investigative work into the fundraising tactics of big-money televangelists first came to national attention in 1991 following a Primetime Live hidden camera investigation of televangelists. Anthony portrayed himself--a Dallas minister of a small church trying to learn how big-money ministries work--in the segment on fellow East Dallas minister Robert Tilton. Anthony and the Trinity Foundation were instrumental in providing evidence for the many state and Federal investigations of Tilton in the years that followed, and he is often interviewed by reporters in preparations for stories on other televangelists.
He is a close friend of writer and fellow-cynic Joe Bob Briggs, who is also a member of the Trinity Foundation.
Ole leads a small church in Dallas, Texas, but that group is not without controversy. A former member, Wendy J. Duncan, has written a book, I Can't Hear God Anymore: Life in a Dallas Cult, claiming that Trinity Foundation is a cult. See [1].
