Led by Gerald Flurry, the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG) is one of the major churches to form in the wake the of the Worldwide Church of God's major doctrinal revisions of the 1980's and 1990's. The PCG claims to be the only break-away church that is truly following in footsteps of Herbert W. Armstrong, the founder of the Worldwide Church of God.
Publications
The PCG produces The Philadelphia Trumpet, a monthly magazine. and the Key of David. a weekly television program, both of which espouse the doctrines of the church and analyze current events from their perspective.
Conflict with the Worldwide Church of God
The PCG was involved in a lengthy legal struggle with the Worldwide Church of God over the rights to publish several of Herbert Armstrong's works. The WCG, which sought to distance itself from the controversial opinions of its founder, owned the copyright to the works but did not publish them. The PCG, believing the works to be an essential part of their religious practice, printed Mystery of the Ages without permission. When they were sued by the WCG, they countersued, claiming that they had a constitutional right to publish the works. The legal battle dragged on for six years, at which point the WCG settled the issue by selling the rights of 19 of Armstrong's works to the PCG for $2 million.
