New Zealand Police are assisting the FBI in an investigation into a secretive religious group, which has operations worldwide.

It’s a fringe, Christian sect that has no official name – but is commonly known as the “Two by Twos”,  “The Truth”, “The Way” and “The Church With No Name”.

The inquiries follow a BBC investigation last year into allegations of child sexual abuse spanning decades within the church, which is believed to have up to 100,000 members worldwide.

And in a bizarre twist, it's been revealed National Party MP Hamish Campbell is a high-ranking member of the group.

Today on The Front Page, Herald senior crime reporter Anna Leask has been delving into what exactly this group is – and joins us now.
