Neale Donald Walsch: Difference between revisions

 

Walsch was accused of plagiarism in his 2008 Christmas article, "Upside down, or right side up?" which was published on [http://blog.beliefnet.com/conversationswithgod/2008/12/upside-down-or-right-side-up.html Beliefnet.com]. Walsch's story purports to tell the tale of a miraculous appearance of the words "Christ Was Love" during the rehearsal of his son's school Christmas pageant. His article is almost identical to the [http://archive.mail-list.com/heartwarmers/msg00724.html same article published 10 years previously by Candy Chand], down to the name of the son mentioned in both articles, Nicholas. Walsch subsequently apologized, saying that he must have [http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/09/books/07book.html erroneously internalized the story] as his own over the years, a claim the original author Chand disputes. The article was subsequently pulled from [http://blog.beliefnet.com/conversationswithgod/2008/12/upside-down-or-right-side-up.html Beliefnet.com].
