COGWA May Launch Public Proclamation Website in June 2012
In its announcement dated 02/23/12, but posted today, COGWA has the following:
From Clyde Kilough: Since I wrote to you in the last Ministerial Newsletter, we have begun work on the website that will serve as our voice devoted exclusively to preaching the gospel to the world. The team at 30 Degrees North, along with several other individuals, is very busy planning and constructing this site; and our target for launching it is early June.
Officially, COGWA formed in December 2010. Its main five accomplishments since that time seem to have been:
- Getting much of the paid US based ministry of the United Church of God to leave and support it.
- Holding the Feast of Tabernacles 2011 in many locations.
- Accumulating over one million dollars as an extra reserve.
- Finding an office in Texas.
- Not falling into the type of apostasy that happened in the Tkach WCG/GCI.
Although COGWA has claimed that public gospel proclamation was to be its top priority, it still has not been particularly effective with that. However, it looks like it is making some effort, on the internet, at least. Yet, I do not believe that COGWA has displayed the type of Philadelphia-era fruits that a Philadelphian Church of God should have demonstrated by this time.
Some articles of possibly related interest may include:
Polycarp, Herbert W. Armstrong, and Roderick C. Meredith on Church Government What form of governance did the early church have? Was it hierarchical? Which form of governance would one expect to have in the Philadelphia remnant? The people decide and/or committee forms, odd dictatorships, or the same type that the Philadelphia era itself had?
Unity: Which COG for You? Why so many groups? Why is there lack of unity in the Churches of God? Has it always been this way? What can/should be done about it?
Differences between the Living Church of God and United Church of God This article provides quotes information from the two largest groups which had their origins in WCG as well as commentary.
There are Many COGs: Why Support the Living Church of God? This is an article for those who wish to more easily sort out the different COGs. It really should be a MUST READ for current and former WCG/GCI members or any interested in supporting the faithful church. It also explains a lot of what the COGs are all about.
Concerns about Church of God, a Worldwide Association This seems to be the largest group that came out of the United Church of God. Here is some history and concerns about it.
Should the Church Still Try to Place its Top Priority on Proclaiming the Gospel or Did Herbert W. Armstrong Change that Priority for the Work? Some say the Church should mainly feed the flock now as that is what Herbert W. Armstrong reportedly said. Is that what he said? Is that what the Bible says? What did Paul and Herbert W. Armstrong expect from evangelists?
The Laodicean Church Era has been predominant circa 1986 A.D. to present. These are non-Philadelphians who mainly descended from the old WCG.
