Surviving Love
by Navigating Advocacy
The late 60’s and early 70’s was a time for free love, peace and change. People sought out religious communities and like minded individuals to share in these experiences. The Children of God became a worldwide phenomenon. With a foundation based on Christianity, the sermons quickly shifted to an extreme. One of their biggest “selling features” of the group was that they cherished and loved the children as God would. But David Berg’s definition of love was much different. As abuse intensified, leadership demands were harder and harder to meet. Self preservation was the only thing that mattered. And now they are Surviving Love.
