Fil-Am INC members urged to air grievances


REDWOOD CITY, California – Some Filipino-American former members of Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC), an influential religious group in the Philippines, are asking other US-based INC members to make their grievances.

The church made headlines recently after a brother of the current leader of the INC alleged rampant corruption in the religious organization.

INC has over three million followers and its churches are spread in over 100 countries. There are at least 39 churches in the United States alone.

Balitang America has been contacted by US members of the INC who claim that they were excommunicated for speaking up about supposed anomalies in the church. Others said they voluntarily cut ties with the INC.

An alleged excommunicated INC member forwarded a message to Balitang America with a call for help from the international media to expose human rights violations reportedly happening in the church. This allegedly involves the kidnapping of 10 church ministers.

Balitang America is still to get in touch with the alleged ex-INC members.
