Old Westgate Church Peterborough
Peterborough Portuguese Seventh-day Adventist Church,
Peterborough Cambridgeshire, Old Westgate Church although the church is now open, photography of the inside is not permitted I am guessing that is because they current owners don't want many to see they have destroyed the original interior of this old church. The chancels traditional look has been replaced with something that looks like a white Ikea tiled kitchen this includes the covering up of the original west window. The Methodist and United Reformed Church moved into the community centre behind it and renamed as the Westgate New Church in 2016 when they sold the old church to Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) In 2017 the UCKG faced allegations of adopting children in Portugal and taking them abroad illegally. It has also been accused of cult-like illegal activities and corruption, including money laundering, charlatanism, and witchcraft, as well as intolerance towards other religions. There have also been accusations that the church extracts money from poor members for the benefit of its leaders In 2000, a London-based UCKG pastor arranged an exorcism which resulted in the death of a child and the conviction of her guardians of murder. The UCKG has been subject to bans in several African countries.
