The pastor of a Palmerston North church accused of having "cult-like" practices has broken his silence. Palmerston
North Victory Christian Church leader Joel Miller has issued a written
statement regarding the criticisms levelled against the parish in the
past few weeks.
More than a dozen sources connected to church, including ex-members, former chaplains, parents and students from Massey University and UCOL have expressed concerns about the parish's practices, including claims of hitting infants into submission, manipulating marriage pairings, financial pressures and excessive control over members.
