The news comes after it was revealed on Friday that she had filed papers to divorce the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church pastor "after a great deal of deliberation and prayer." By early afternoon, she announced that "upon prayerful reflection," she had withdrawn the petition.

In a statement issued late Friday, Mrs. Longโ€™s attorney says โ€œshe has determined that dismissal of her divorce petition is not appropriate at this time.โ€

โ€ฆ The split comes more than a year after allegations that Eddie Long used his lavish lifestyle and position of spiritual authority to lure four young men into sexual relationships. Long settled the cases but has never admitted to any wrongdoing.
