US: Coretta Scott King's funeral was held at the 10,000- capacity mega-church, the New Birth, headed by a controversial pastor who believes the godly will be rewarded with earthly riches.
Some are concerned that the message of New Birth's pastor, Bishop Eddie L Long, does not mesh well with the precepts of the late the Rev Martin Luther King, a champion of poor and disenfranchised blacks.
In August, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Bishop Long received more than $3 million in salary, benefits and perks between 1997 and 2000. In response, Bishop Long told the paper that "Jesus wasn't poor".
