I remember Reverend Ike. In the 70s I had a small house on the southside of St Petersburg where my family and the ancient guy next door were the only white residents for many blocks around. We got flashy fliers on our doors whenever the Rev came through. He took the Prosperity Gospel to its farthest extension. The slick pamphlet was full of pictures of him with multiple diamond rings and a BIG gold watch. The underlying message was Send Me Your Money and God Will Return It to You Manifold. Many people in the neighborhood sent him their money. I didn't see any subsequent new Cadillacs or house remodellings, though, and nobody moved to Snell Isle.
