World Fellowship of the World Church
In 1969, there were 800 congregations in the U.S. and the world, with 3,170 ministers organized into a World Fellowship of the World Church. These figures were questioned at the time by many who claimed that the movement consisted merely of the single congregation in Los Angeles. [1] Though the number of churches in the World Fellowship may be in dispute, there are or have been fellowships in Hawaii and Australia. Moreover, several pastors associated with the movement were reported in attendance at the Jaggers' wedding in 1957. [2]Annually in the month of July, members of the World Fellowship from all over the world met at a Universal World Church International Convention in Los Angeles. These international conventions lasted seven days and included a celebration of "Seven Revelation Biblical Feasts of God" and other "holy religious festivities."[3]
