From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Evangelist Oral Roberts, who once said God told him to build a huge medical center called City of Faith, said he is selling it for an undisclosed sum to an investment group. Roberts, 74, began shutting the Tulsa, Okla., complex--three towering gold buildings, including a 60-story clinic--in 1989 because of debt. He had pleaded unsuccessfully with followers to send him $11 million to keep creditors at bay. Roberts said the investment group plans to turn the complex into commercial real estate.
