The building next to St. Osmund’s Church - once a local community centre - was recently purchased by an American evangelical organisation known as the Ministry of the New Dawn; now transformed into a place of worship, the old community centre is also currently the place of residence of Pastor Ezekiel Boreham-Sand, who claims a genealogical bond with the Boreham familiy.
Whilst it has boldly set itself up as a spiritual rival to the more traditionalist St. Osmund’s, the Ministry of the New Dawn does not, by all accounts, adhere to a typically doctrinal interpretation of Christianity, instead preferring to preach a more heterodox, gnostic and apocalyptic creed - one premised on the notion that God - the hidden and awful singularity at the heart of all things - will soon herald a new dawn for humanity upon Its awakening from the forgetfulness of Its cosmic slumber, finally opening Its single, monstrous eye to irradiate and cleanse the world with the mindless power of Its terrible, inmost light.
