About 2,000 people gathered on Sept. 28 at First Baptist North in Spartanburg, S.C., to hear high-profile Christians speak on defending the faith and applying a Christian worldview to their lives. Among the speakers: Eric Metaxas, Josh McDowell, andkeynote speaker for the eveningbest-selling author, filmmaker, and Christian college president Dinesh DSouza.
DSouzas speech earned him a standing ovation and a long line at the book-signing table immediately afterward. Although DSouza has been married for 20 years to his wife, Dixie, in South Carolina he was with a young woman, Denise Odie Joseph II, and introduced her to at least three people as his fiancée.
Finally, near 11 p.m., event organizer Tony Beam escorted DSouza and Joseph to the nearby Comfort Suites. Beam noted that they checked in together and were apparently sharing a room for the night in the sold-out hotel. The next morning, around 6 a.m., Beam arrived back at the hotel and called up to DSouzas room. Well be down in 10 minutes, DSouza told Beam. DSouza and Joseph came down together, and Beam took them to the airport.
The next day another conference organizer, Alex McFarland, distressed by DSouzas behavior, confronted him in a telephone conversation. DSouza admitted he shared a room with his fiancée but said nothing happened. When I called DSouza, he confirmed that he was indeed engaged to Joseph, but did not explain how he could be engaged to one woman while still married to another. When asked when he had filed for divorce from his wife, Dixie, DSouza answered, Recently.
According to San Diego County (Calif.) Superior Court records, DSouza filed for divorce only on Oct. 4, the day I spoke with him. Under California law, that starts the clock on a six-month waiting period for divorce. DSouza on Oct. 4 told me his marriage was over, said he is sure Denise is the one for me, and said he had done nothing wrong.
