    Where Is GOD’S CHURCH? by David C. Pack Herbert W. Armstrong led the Worldwide Church of God (formerly The Radio Church of God until 1968) until his death in 1986. Hundreds of mil- lions heard his voice and read his literature. God called him in the fall of 1926 and he was converted in the spring of 1927. Over the course of Mr. Armstrong’s ministry, God revealed through him a great many true biblical doctrines, which had been lost to the Church through the centuries. After his death, his successors ceased to believe and teach these doctrines.

He said, “I will build MY CHURCH”— not “churches,” “fellowships,” “sects,” “denominations” or “communities of believers.” He promised that the “gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Where is it and how is it identified? What and why is it? You need not be confused.

  • The Worldwide Church of God

    The Worldwide Church of God

    The Worldwide Church of God: A study of its transformation in terms of K. Helmut Reich’s theory of Relational and Contextual Reasoning. Johannes Lothar Felix Buchner MA Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Psychology) University of Western Sydney, Australia March 2006. Certificate of Originality I certify that this thesis is entirely my own work, and that sources have been duly acknowledged, and that inclusive language has been used wherever possible, and that this thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree at any other institution. ______________________________ Johannes L.F. Buchner 23 March 2005. Amended version submitted following examination. ___________________ Johannes L.F. Buchner 27 February 2006. ii Acknowledgments and Dedication Sincere gratitude is expressed for the considerable assistance and support provided by Dr Maureen Miner, of the School of Psychology, University of Western Sydney, my principal supervisor, who gave so much of her time and expertise, as well as her genuine friendship. Maureen’s high academic standards, especially in the Psychology of Religion, enabled me to succeed in this project. I also thank Professor Jim McKnight and Dr Agnes Petocz for their valuable assistance at various stages of this thesis. The generous assistance and mentoring of Dr. K. Helmut Reich, lately of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, whose valuable theoretical contributions are explored in this thesis, and whose vision for the resolution of cognitive conflict and harmony between worldviews is greatly admired, was very much appreciated. A true polymath, Dr. Reich’s profound insights have given us a wealth of important lessons. I have sought to understand and apply Helmut’s theory fairly and honestly out of respect for academic integrity and our friendship.
  • Does the Role of an Apostle Continue in Our Day? by Peter Salemi

    Does the Role of an Apostle Continue in Our Day? by Peter Salemi

    Does the Role of an Apostle Continue in our Day? By Peter Salemi BICOG Publication [This booklet is not to be sold. It is a free educational service in the public interest, published by the British-Israel Church of God.] Does the Role of an Apostle Continue in our Day? Many today in the Church of God claim that Herbert W. Armstrong was “God’s Apostle.” Many who claim to be his successor are claiming the same thing. Are these claims true? Or did the office of Apostle cease after the death of the Apostle John? It’s unfortunate that in the latter years of his Life Herbert W Armstrong claimed these divine titles for himself the way he did. This was the beginning of the end for that church. By the end of his life, the “Church of God” did not resemble the church that Jesus built, but looked like the church of HWA! Keith Hunt a former member on his website writes, “It is sad to have to report that IDOLATRY is still very rampant in different religious groups. The Mormons have their Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. The Jehovah Witnesses have their William Russel. The Seventh Day Adventists have their Ellen G. White. The Roman Catholics have their Pope, and so it goes with other organizations of religion. “While I am somewhat familiar with the above idolatry with the above groups, I am VERY first- hand familiar with groups that have broken off from the Worldwide Church of God, founded by Herbert W. Armstrong. I was a member of the WCG from 1961 to 1972.

This research made use of multiple approaches including historical and missiological approaches to explore the conflict that ensues among Adventists on the subject of politics.

    Canadian International Charities by Country Or Region of Operation and Why This Information May Be Helpful

    CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL CHARITIES BY COUNTRY OR REGION OF OPERATION AND WHY THIS INFORMATION MAY BE HELPFUL Countries – S - Z Why is it useful to have a list of Canadian charities organized by countries or regions in which they operate? 1. If you are interested in a particular country, then it is interesting to note which Canadian charities operate there. 2. If you are interested in supporting a particular country’s development efforts, then you have a list of some of the charities operating there. 3. If an individual, organization or charity is interested in conducting a project in a particular country, then they may wish to partner with one of the charities on the ground. People interested in setting up charities approach me frequently, and I usually try to dissuade them. Instead, I encourage them to work with an established charity that has a similar interest. 4. If you are a Canadian charity this list can help you. If you are considering a project in a new country, then you can speak to some of the Canadian charities already operating there. 5. Also, if a foundation, as opposed to an operating charity, has a particular interest in a country they may be a potential source of funds for a charity. 6.
