Roderick C. Meredith - A Biographical Sketch

By Redfox

Richard Ames, the husband of Meredith's sister, Kathryn, join
GCG. Raymond McNair falls out of favor with Meredith and has
his duties cut back (AR63 September 1996).
According to Wikipedia Meredith's mother Mildred Kohane
Meredith dies.
1997: Many members remain fearful of a Jesuit conspiracy.
Myron Martin condemns Meredith in open letter (AR66
September 1997). In June-July 1997 Global Church News John
Ogwyn emphasizes traditional Armstrongite abstinence from
military service (AR69 July 1998).
August 20: Meredith writes a letter to the atheist/agnostic/deist -
-Painful Truth.
1998: GCG has about 8,000 members meeting each week in
about 275 congregations and video groups with The World Ahead
on nearly a hundred TV and radio stations. John Trechak,
influenced by David Hulme's contentious split from UCGia,
opines that Meredith's GCG will emerge as the dominant
Armstrongite church (AR70 October 1998).
And so out of all the very many contenders for HWA's vacant
throne Meredith has emerged as one of the most prominent
contenders in the world of Armstrongism. Things seem to be
going quite well for GCG right now.
And so all seemed well with the Global Church of God as of 1998.
Meredith had been able to build up a following of 8000 or so and
seemed well on his way to rebuilding the Armstrong empire.
