A COUPLE who claim they are Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene have set up base in Queensland and are drawing in disciples from across the country.
The pair, whose real names are Alan John Miller and Mary Suzanne Luck, operate from a rural property near the little town of Kingaroy - about 220kms northwest of Brisbane - where they claim to have been joined by 30 to 40 followers, The Sunday Mail reported.
"My name is Jesus and I'm serious," Miller says in a video recording from a workshop.
Cult watchers and the Anglican and Catholic churches are concerned the pair, who ask followers to donate to sustain them, could draw in the vulnerable.
Miller bought a 40-acre (16ha) property in 2007 and his Divine Truth followers have since been buying nearby blocks to be close to the charismatic leader, 47, and Luck, 32.
Anglican Archbishop Phillip Aspinall and the Catholic church urged people to be cautious when exploring new movements.
"This is especially true for people who are seeking meaning in their lives and as a result may be vulnerable," Aspinall said.
