Bayless Conley is an American pastor and television personality who hosts ''Answers With Bayless Conley'' on television. ''Answers'' runs every week in over a hundred countries. The program can be found on CNBC in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East and on other local and regional channels in other places. Currently, Answers is broadcast in Mexico through Genesis Television. Bayless' ''Answers'' program is said to bring "practical teaching of the Bible to its viewers in a non-religious way." As a recovering drug addict and alcoholic, Conley has stated that he found God over 35 years ago through a 12-year-old Christian boy.〔(Answers With Bayless Conley ), About Us〕 Bayless also leads Cottonwood Church.〔("Pastor Bayless Conley, the dynamic, 45-year-old Cottonwood pastor who turned Bible study in his home in the early 1980s to a 4,000- member church...")〕 Bayless and the church notably had to fight local authorities to build a new church building in the early 2000s. The case went to Federal Court, which ruled that the city of Cypress was illegally exercising eminent domain. Cottonwood Church won the case and retained the land, but later resold it to the city due to a better offer for the larger plot of land nearby.〔("The Cottonwood Christian Center is bursting at the seams. The non-denominational church can hold 700 people but has 4,000 parishioners. To accommodate them all, it holds seven services each week, taxing the vocal cords of senior pastor Bayless Conley. ...Last week the Cottonwood Christian Center sought a federal injunction to block the city from taking the land while the case proceeds in court.")〕 The church sold its to the city and moved onto that are part of a defunct golf course nearby. That property will cost more than the original site. Bayless was hospitalized after a boating accident in late January 2014.〔http://encountergospelnews.blogspot.co.nz/2014/01/pastor-bayless-conley-in-critical.html〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bayless Conley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
