Roderick C. Meredith - A Biographical Sketch

By Redfox

1999: Living Church of God established. Richard Ames, David
Crockett, Dave Hall, Jonathan McNair, John Ogwyn and Dr.
Lynn Torrance join (AR71 February 1999). Also involved are
Douglas Winnail and Mark Mendiola.
I recall hearing once in a sermon Meredith gave that originally he
and those with him wanted to name his church the Church of the
Living God, to imitate I Timothy 3:15, one of the twelve Church
of God passages HWA used to 'prove' that the church bore the
name Church of God which happens to use that very phrase.
However, another church held the copyright. The Meredithites
tried to get that name but failed to do so, thus the name became
the Living Church of God.
LCG begins Living Church News magazine for church members,
beginnig with the January-February issue. The Tomorrow's World
telecast and magazine also are established. Tomorrow's World
magazine begins with May-June issue. This PDF file features a
deleted article by the now departed Mark Mendiola, a nostalgic
article commenting on the passing of the older generation and
fearing the short comings of the new generation, because as all
Armstrongites know the USA will turn hopelessly corrupt and be
punished by total military defeat and Americans will be sent
overseas as slaves. Meredith was able to retain his TV spot on
WGN. (Tomorrow's World was also the name of a short-lived
magazine WCG produced from 1969 to 1972 as a more spiritual
counterpart to the more secular focused Plain Truth). Weekly
Internet updates are made by Headquarters.
