The Philadelphia Trumpet

The Philadelphia Trumpet

"The Philadelphia Trumpet" is a monthly news magazine published by the Philadelphia Church of God (PCG). Its editor-in-chief is currently Gerald Flurry, who is also the leader of the PCG and characterizes the magazine as a successor to "The Plain Truth" magazine when it was under the aegis of the Worldwide Church of God. The only advertisements in the magazine are for various pamphlets and booklets published by the PCG, for the Armstrong College Bible Correspondence Course, and a list of broadcast times for "The Key of David".

The magazine reports on worldwide events as seen through the filter of Armstrongism as taught by the PCG. The bias of the magazine is decidedly conservative (for example, the December 2006 issue characterized the Democratic victory in Congress as a "dangerous turn for America"). It has also been criticized for allegedly anti-semitic, anti-islamic and racist editorials.Fact|date=May 2008 There are, however, occasional claims of political neutrality (for example, the October 2004 issue stated "Neither George W. Bush nor John Kerry can promise [to keep you safe from terrorism] ." [M. Jenkins, "How Would Jesus Vote?" "Philadelphia Trumpet" October 2004] Occasionally the "Trumpet" has articles on certain issues not tied to specific current events (for example, pornography, the weakening of the traditional family unit, or the paganism of Easter).

The magazine has a circulation of 294,000 in 2008. [ [http://www.cogwriter.com/news/cog-news/philadelphia-trumpet-circulation-flat/ Philadelphia Trumpet Circulation Flat ] ]
