Joel Osteen, criticized for closing his Houston megachurch to Harvey victims, relents
Televangelist Joel Osteen canceled Sunday services at his Houston megachurch but was reluctant to reopen its doors to Harvey victims — despite the fact that thousands of flooded-out residents are desperately seeking shelter.
