Facilities

Grace Cathedral

Ernest Angley's interdenominational ministry was originally based at Grace Cathedral (a.k.a. the "Temple of Healing Stripes") in Springfield Township, Ohio southeast of Akron. That church is now known as 'Grace Cathedral - Akron' and is used by their youth ministry and for church weddings, funerals and Bible study.[1] In 1994, Angley purchased part of a large complex in his home base of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, another Akron suburb, one that was formerly owned by evangelist Rex Humbard, and formerly known as the Cathedral of Tomorrow and the next door television studios. This complex now includes the Grace Cathedral, the Cathedral Buffet restaurant, WBNX-TV's studios and offices, as well as other companies which lease space.

Online Bible College

Angley began an online Bible college through his website in 2011 with the purpose of providing Bible study courses for laymen, missionaries, teachers and pastors.[2]

Boeing 747SP

Ernest Angley's ministry operates a Boeing 747SP, named "Star Triple Seven"[3] and bearing registration P4-FSH, [4] which it uses to transport missionaries and humanitarian aid around the world.[5] The P4- tail number denotes the aircraft is registered in Aruba.

On September 20, 2011, the Angley Ministries 747SP was involved in a landing mishap at its home base at Akron-Canton Airport in Green, Ohio. No one was reported hurt.[6]

Broadcasts

Ernest Angley's signature weekly one-hour program The Ernest Angley Hour can currently be seen throughout North America as well as internationally via broadcast stations, internet streaming, cable and satellite channels.

Angley also broadcasts The 90 and 9 Club (show named in reference to Matthew 18:12-13) weekdays on his ministry owned TV station WBNX-TV 55 in Cleveland, Ohio. Additional airings of both shows as well as gospel music specials also air on secondary digital channel 55.2 from WBNX in the Cleveland, Ohio television market.

Controversy over whether Jesus heals HIV/AIDS

Angley's Christian faith-based teachings, in particular his claims (based on Biblical scripture Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.") that AIDS and other diseases can be cured by God's healing power, were met with some skepticism in South Africa. In March 2007, the Advertising Standards Authority in South Africa, after receiving a complaint, cancelled a newspaper ad for Angley's ministry, based on lack of preliminary filing of medical documentation at that time for healing of AIDS through prayer.[7] Angley has since stated that he has verifiable medical documentation from former AIDS patients that he can submit to any country that requires it, and in the same 2007 television broadcast displayed medical documentation from 4 alleged former HIV positive patients of their new negative tests results.[8] It is unknown if medical documentation has been requested for preliminary filing by any government agency since the South Africa ASA in 2007.

The author of many books as well as gospel songs, his website states that he has donated all royalties from his books to the outreach ministry.[9]

Personal life

Angley is a native of Gaston County, North Carolina; he was raised a Baptist, and at the age of 18 he said he underwent a "life-changing experience" with Jesus. In the early 1950s, traveling with their tent, he and his wife arrived in northeast Ohio as a traveling "salvation and healing" Pentecostal evangelist; the locals embraced them, and he has lived in the Akron area ever since.

Reverend Angley continues to live in the same small house that he shared with his wife Esther before her death in December 1970. Angley never remarried and has no children.
