From an article on Yahoo News:
The Charlotte, N.C.-based Living Church of God is a denomination that grew out of a schism in the Worldwide Church of God, formed in 1933, and focuses on "end-time" prophecies.
 

This year, the group's leader, Dr. Roderick C. Meredith, wrote that events prophesied in the Bible are "beginning to occur with increasing frequency." The church has an estimated 6,300 members in 40 countries.

In addition, in other reporting, it is noted that the emphasis is on the end times preaching as being the cause of this crime.

Expect more and more criticism of any preaching and teaching concerning the times we live in.... It is not politically correct.
