Unidyne's definitions

televangelist

A religious preacher, almost always Evangelical Christian, who preaches on paid television programs. The term is a fusion of "Television" and "Evangelist", and with recent scandals involving sexual and/or financial wrong-doings among televanngelists, the term has a negative influence.

The televangelist proclaimed that if you sent money to his ministry, God would reward you.
