Brotherhood of the Cross and Star information


Bethel in Elephant and Castle, London

Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS) is a new religious movement founded in 1956 by Olumba Olumba in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. It differs from mainstream Christianity in that it maintains that BCS is not a church but the new Kingdom of God on Earth and that its founder, Olumba Olumba Obu, is the Holy Spirit personified, the God of all creation. BCS incorporates into Christian teaching ideas of incarnation and reincarnation and also advocates veganism.[1][2]
