Because his foundation is slowly crumbling right before his eyes and his family structure will no longer be his front. Below is the statement as reported on CNN:
Bishop Eddie Long, head of one of the nation’s largest mega-churches, announced Sunday he is “taking time off” to work on his family.
The announcement came three days after his wife Vanessa filed for divorce.
Although her husband’s church issued a statement later that same day saying she was withdrawing the divorce petition, Vanessa Long’s attorney said she was proceeding with the divorce.
Last spring, Long, head of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, settled a lawsuit filed by four young men who accused him of pressuring them into sexual relationships while they were teenagers and members of the congregation.
I don’t think Bishop Long’s family need to be worked on, I think it’s Bishop Long who has the problem. He’s determined to live in the closet and not fess up to his secret lifestyle of homosexuality and hypocrisy. Pride always comes before the fall!!!

Here is his (Eddie Long’s) whole/full statement Fam:
“I’m going to take a little time off to work with my family,” Long said Sunday to a packed house at the televised service.
“I do want you to know that this is, for me and my family, especially with me, one of the most difficult times and things I’ve had to face, and only because my strength, other than God, is in Miss Vanessa,” he said to huge applause.
“And I want you to rest assured that I love her and she loves me. … In all the things that I’ve ever had to deal with and being pastor, my rock has been to be able to come home to a virtuous woman who always had peace in my house,” he said.
“We’re going (to) work it out,” he said.
He insisted that the two of them are not fighting, and that they are not mad at each other.
Long said the situation is “not because of allegations” of sexual relationships last year and instead blamed the pressures of being a pastor’s wife.
“It’s been very difficult to her, some of the things that she’s had to endure,” he said.
The church issued a statement emphasizing that Long is not stepping down, and “will continue to be the senior pastor of New Birth.”

Pinky, the Deacon Board should not be limited to just Baptist Churches. The role of the Deacon is outlined in 1 Timothy and it has nothing to do with the denomination of the church. If more churches would stick to the Word of God and not their own rules, there wouldn’t be as many issues within the church to begin with.

@ Gia, you’re right. The young men were victims. They were takin advantage of by a MAN in a postion of power, so I agree with that statement. You’re right again, the church is a business,but like any business, if the CEO, CFO, VP, EVP, SRVP, etc.. Is not doing their job or abusing their power, ummm, they are replaced. That didn’t happen here. Eddie Long tried to pay for the problem to go away and it didn’t. Now, like I said in another post, he should have left for the betterment of the church.
I agree, a sheppred is supposed to lead his flock. He is also supposed to be “above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable” 1 Timothy 3:2. He is not. Therefore, he should step aside and let the church recover w/a new Pastor so they can get back to the business of God.
The mindset of these so called pastors are getting caught out there doing things they shouldn’t be doing, becasue they forget that they are only a man. They take on a GOD complex and start believing the hype that they are the second coming of Jesus… Stop it !!!! Also, everyone including pastors are imperfect.. So, when you walk into a church, it’s imperfect… When people start to forget about their imprefections and become holier then thou, God will show up and shut them down, just like Eddie Long..

Coming out of lurkdom to add – The statement that was issued late Friday to say that Vanessa Long had withdrawn her petition was issued on New Birth letterhead…I think it was not her or her attorney’s doing. I think it was an attempt by the Church to make it appear as though she had changed her mind, when in fact she had not; which is why the last press statement issued, by her attorney, stated, “To avoid any undue confusion, Mrs. Long’s future statements, if any, will be issued through her attorneys.”
Clearly the church was trying to manipulate the situation.
