Reuters: “Some have likened People of Praise, a self-described charismatic Christian community, to the totalitarian, male-dominated society of Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale.”

“Others call it an ultraconservative group with an unusual mix of Roman Catholic and Pentecostal traditions.”

“In any case there has been renewed interest in the group since President Trump put one of its purported members, Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the Seventh District Court of Appeals, on his short list of candidates for elevation to the Supreme Court.”
