I don't know about the PAW and stuff like that. We have at least 2 PAW churches in our area and the pastor of one of them was Presiding Bishop of the PAW for a while.
I do know, however, of a belief among some of the African Americans in the Cincinnati area about a man having several women that he may visit, live with, have children with, and receive financial support from. Some believe this is OK because:
1 it was practiced by men of God in the past (Abraham, David, etc.),
2 it is seen in nature where one male may have a "harem" of several females,
3 A bishop is to be a one woman man but that requirement does not apply to all men in the church
4 It is part of African culture and should not be judged by white Americans
it is
