Religious Group News, January 2011:

  • An article on yoga How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body that appeared in the NY Times is causing quite a furory amongst yoga practitioners. It seems that yoga isn't actually very healthy for many people.
  • A severely critical email from Debbie Cook, formerly a director of Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization, Inc, was sent to 12,000 fellow Scientologists on New Year's Day. In the email she attacks the way the present leader David Miscavige has been accumulating wealth, including a cash reserve said to be more than US$1 billion and according to the NZ Herald "tens of millions more on a portfolio of large, upmarket buildings which largely sit empty." In the email Ms Cook writes "There is no question that this new age of continuous fundraising is not our finest moment." For more see this NZ Herald article.
  • Pope Shenouda III, leader of Egypt's Coptic Christians, has celebrated 40 years in that role.
  • Destiny Church leader Brian Tamaki has announced Destiny has the land it wants (in Druces Rd, Wiri) to build a large new church complex - basically a church town. Read more in this NZ Herald article or watch this TV One News report.
