Phoenix TV broadcast a documentary about Pastor James McCatskill and his attempts to lure the people of Lundwood back to St. Mary Magdalene Church . It was called Believer Wanted - Die Pfarr-GmbH and originally ran on the British television station Channel 4 under the name Priest Idol . The actions were very successful, but the church was almost completely destroyed by fire. The remaining parts were demolished; a new church is to be built.
