Previous page: Destiny Church / Brian Tamaki
By Mark Vrankovich, director of CultWatch. About CultWatch: "Cultwatch is a para-church organisation made up of people from different Christian denominations. (Para-church means not founded, owned, or controlled by any one church group.) Cultwatch's two main aims are to help the people trapped in the cults and to warn people about the cult danger before they are ensnared. Cultwatch is a Christian based organisation dedicated to helping people from all walks of life."
By Dr. Mike Grimshaw, Department of Religious Studies, University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Published in International Journal of Baudrillard Studies, Volume 3, Number 1 (January 2006). Includes a segment on Brian Tamaki and Destiny Church.
By Glenn Peoples
[T]he Christian churches in general need to capture something of why people are getting caught up in Destiny Church in the first place. We need to think hard about why some people are drawn there, and what they see lacking in our own churches. Are we getting a bit shy about our commitment? Are we perhaps a bit too afraid of rocking the boat in this country? Do we perhaps not want to make noise in case people notice these terribly old fashioned things that we believe? For my part, I think the answer lies, not in the glamour and glitz of Brian Tamaki’s empire (he is, after all “the king,” so I guess he sees his domain as an empire or kingdom), but in a more engaging, intellectually rigorous and socially engaged Christianity at home.

For the background to this document see "Covenant Ring and Loyalty Oath" Note: we have color-coded this entry as 'non-Christian' as we do not consider the sentiments and instructions it includes as representative of normal, biblical Christianity.
The Ship of Fools' Myster Worshipper visited the church in 2004, but not much appears to have changed since then. Ship of Fools? Yes, that's explained here.
