From Cult to Hope – Saturday 2nd November 2024: 9:30am-12:30pm
Join the Gloriavale Leavers’ Support Trust and a panel of former Gloriavale members to explore the characteristics of a religious cult. Former members will offer insights into the challenges of separating the cult beliefs from healthy expressions of faith and how you can support them in this journey. We’ll discuss the serious harm cults cause, including widespread abuse, health issues from medical neglect, and deep psychological and spiritual impacts.
