UPDATE BELOW  I have been following Jeff Sharlet’s reports about “The Family,” for some time.  His report in Harper’s  initially alerted me to this loathsome organization.  It was followed by his book, The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power.  Today he published a good summary of what this group is about…
