God Next Door
Journalist Darryl Morris meets the man who has, since childhood, considered himself to be God, and is now working to achieve world peace through a shift in human consciousness.
James lives in Manchester and earns his living as a landscape gardener. Since he was a child he has believed himself to be God, and is on a mission to bring peace to the world. He is part of an organisation that runs community events, fitness sessions, games evenings and he shares his ideas at regular Q&A meetings with a group of people, including many who share his belief that he is a divine figure.Β
Over the last four years journalist Darryl Morris has been spending time with James and some of the members of the group, and attending some of the events they stage. He’s trying to find out what it’s like for James to live his life understanding himself to be God, what he is hoping to achieve, and what he offers those who consider themselves lucky enough to be among the first to recognise his presence.
