The Rev. Terry Cole-Whittaker said she is ending her weekly television sermons and leaving her La Jolla-based church after the Easter Sunday service. Cole-Whittaker told her congregation that she was quitting “to go within myself, to be in nature and to be happy,” but Cole-Whittaker--who preaches that prosperity is a divine right--also has said that whereas she raised $6 million through her ministry last year, she spent even more. In addition to Sunday preaching, Cole-Whittaker has presented a variety of courses, such as “Mastery in Wealth” and “Dress to Win.” Her book, “How to Have More in a Have-Not World,” sells for $50 per autographed copy.
