Barrett sees her self as a secret agent for her "god" - Frank Schaeffer

People of Praise, a charismatic religious group, was recently revealed to have scrubbed its website of mentions of Barrett. Why? They are hiding her decades of leadership involvement in this pro- “male leadership” anti-feminist cult that even most evangelicals think is extreme.

Citing records which People of Praise has taken off its website, the Washington Post said of Amy Barrett: “A 2010 directory states that she held the title of ‘handmaid’, a leadership position for women in the community.”

McConnell is backing a RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST cult leader/member who had the organization she helped lead delete all mention of her from its websites pre-hearing. That’s because Barrett is a leader in the group not just a follower. She was a “Handmaid” who enforced male-head-of-home edicts.

Even most evangelicals reject Barrett’s cult as nuts. The fact she was in it with her entire family points to many problems-no matter how “brilliant” her career.

Barrett sees her self as a secret agent for her “god”- who turns out to be a patriarchal maniac into the subjugation of women.

Caught between the beauty of his grandchildren and grief over a friend’s death, Frank Schaeffer finds himself simultaneously believing and not believing in God—an atheist who prays. Schaeffer wrestles with faith and disbelief, sharing his innermost thoughts with a lyricism that only great writers of literary nonfiction achieve. Schaeffer writes as an imperfect son, husband and grandfather whose love for his family, art and life trumps the ugly theologies of an angry God and the atheist vision of a cold, meaningless universe. Schaeffer writes that only when we abandon our hunt for certainty do we become free to create beauty, give love and find peace. Available now at Amazon.

In 1998, Frank Schaeffer was a bohemian novelist living in “Volvo driving, higher-education worshipping” Massachusetts with two children graduated from top universities. Then his youngest child, straight out of high school, joined the United States Marine Corps. Written in alternating voices by eighteen-year-old John and his father, Frank, Keeping Faith takes readers in riveting fashion through a family’s experience of the Marine Corps: from being broken down and built back up on Parris Island (and being the parent of a child undergoing that experience), to the growth of both father and son and their separate reevaluations of what it means to serve. Available now at Amazon.
