Texas' biggest church 'closes doors' during Hurricane Harvey. Pastor Joel Osteen criticised for not immediately offering 16,000-seater arena that would make for 'great shelter', while dozens of smaller churches and mosques have done so

Dozens of Houston-area churches, schools and community centers opened their doors to offer temporary shelter to survivors, while other local houses of worship organized volunteer teams to help with relief efforts.

Mosques stayed open to aid the Harvey victims... Nonprofit organizations Muslim Youth USA and others hit the streets of Houston to distribute food, water, and other supplies to those affected.

One church, however, drew criticism online for remaining shut. Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church, a 16,800-seat indoor arena, announced on Facebook that it was “inaccessible due to severe flooding.

Is Joel Oesteen a Christian pastor? The few times I've listened to him he wasn't even referring to scripture and was just doing motivation speaking
