Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will appear on national television this month with a Texas televangelist whose teachings have been branded "heretical" and whose lavish spending has sparked a congressional inquiry.
Huckabee, a minister and former head of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, will sit down with Fort Worth preacher Kenneth Copeland "for six days of frank discussion on the biblical perspective of character, and the vital relevance true character has to the Church today," a full-page advertisement in the December issue of Charisma magazine proclaims.
The programs are scheduled to air across the nation Nov. 25-30.
Former Gov. Huckabee could not be reached for comment Friday or Saturday by press time.
Earlier this month, in an interview with the Democrat-Gazette, Huckabee said he has stayed at the home of Kenneth and Gloria Copeland and considers them friends.
