hospitalized near his California home after falling over the weekend.
According to a statement
released Monday, Roberts fell on Saturday and is being treated for broken bones
and a slight case of pneumonia. It says he is listed in stable condition.
Roberts, 91, is a veteran
healing evangelist and founder of Oral Roberts University (ORU) in Tulsa, Okla.
Late last month Roberts
addressed attendees at a funeral service for Tulsa pastor Billy Joe Daugherty
by video.
In September, he returned to
Tulsa to help inaugurate ORU’s third president, Mark Rutland, nearly two years
after his son, Richard Roberts, stepped down from that post amid a financial
scandal.
Richard Roberts and his wife, Lindsay, have denied
allegations that they used university money to fund vacations, home remodels
and other luxuries at a time when ORU was $55 million in debt. Richard Roberts
continues to serve as president of Oral Roberts Ministries.
