Cuyahoga Falls Pentecostal televangelist Ernest Angley dies at age 99
AKRON, Ohio — The Rev. Ernest W. Angley, a faith-healing Pentecostal televangelist who claimed a lifetime of personal visits from God, died Friday at age 99, according to an announcement on the website of his Cuyahoga Falls-based ministry.
The preacher rose over the decades from tent revivalist to running a world-wide ministry with his namesake from what would be a vast home base in suburban Akron. Delivering his sermons in his distinctive drawl, Angley was one of the most influential modern-day faith healers and televangelists, though not as flashy as some of his contemporaries.
With that stature came controversy, though, with scandals and lawsuits about his claimed abilities and business practices that plagued him and his Ernest Angley Ministries until near the end of his life.
“Pastor, evangelist and author Rev. Ernest Angley has gone to Heaven to be with his Lord and Master at 99,” a message posted on the Ernest Angley Ministries website read. “He touched multitudes of souls worldwide with the pure Word of God confirmed with signs, wonders, miracles and healings. He truly pleased God in all things.”
The ministry did not release a cause of death.
Angley, whose father worked in a textile mill, was born in 1921, the middle of seven children reared from humble roots in Gastonia, North Carolina. He left the Baptist Church at age 18 to become a Pentecostal and worked as a traveling preacher during the Depression.
At 20, Angley attended the Church of God Bible Training School in Tennessee, where he met his wife, Esther Lee – known as “Angel.” They decided not to have children because he wanted Angel on the road with him, The Washington Post reported in a 1980 profile.
Angley claimed that at 23, he suffered from an ulcerated stomach that couldn’t be cured until the Lord visited again and healed him.
The Angleys appeared together in tent revivals, auditoriums and churches throughout the sou

Facilities
Grace Cathedral
Angley's non-denominational 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. In 1984, Angley purchased part of a large complex in his home base of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, that was formerly owned by televangelist Rex Humbard, which includes the church formerly known as the Cathedral of Tomorrow (which was rededicated as Grace Cathedral) and its next-door television studios.
Humbard's Cathedral of Tomorrow complex was sold in 1984 to television evangelist Ernes
