Michael Pitts

Michael Pitts (* 1964) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Autor und charismatischer Bischof, der 1986 die überkonfessionelle Cornerstone Church in Ohio gründete. Seine Veröffentlichungen und Predigten behandeln vor allem charismatische Leiterschaft, geistliche Kampfführung und praktische Lebensprinzipien. Bibellesern begegnet er heute als Verfasser prägnanter Impulse zu Beharrlichkeit und Glaubenspraxis, während sein Dienst in der Öffentlichkeit auch von Berichten über juristische Konflikte und Kritik an autoritären Leitungsstrukturen begleitet wurde.
