The State - News from Jan. 13, 1988

Former television evangelist Jim Bakker said he and his wife, Tammy, are considering doing an Ann Landers-type marriage counseling TV show and dream of building a new Heritage U.S.A. religious theme park on the West Coast. The former leader of the PTL television ministry, speaking by telephone from the couple’s rented home in Palm Springs, said he and his wife were pondering a television show offer by a major syndication firm that he declined to name. But Bakker said they also dreamed of building another Heritage U.S.A. like the religious theme park they founded near Fort Mills, S.C., that features a church, hotel, mall and family recreational activities, such as water slides. “That’s my dream,” he said. “Perhaps on the West Coast, this time.”
