Christian televangelist scandals

A series of scandals in the 1980s resulted in the destroyed reputations several famous Christian televangelists, including Jim and Tammy Faye Baker and Jimmy Swaggart.

A current fraud scandal involves televangelist Benny Hinn, famous for his televised faith healing.

Most televangelists continue preaching, though with a far diminished viewership. Despite their respective scandals, they each often retain a core group of "faithful" followers.
