Church evicts Jesus People in Downtown Los Angeles
Controversial Jesus People sect known as The Children of God faced eviction after a dispute over teachings and lifestyle. About 100 members, led by Rev. J. Fred Jordan of Church in the Home, were forced out from a skid row building and a nearby commune near Indio. Members praised police for their understanding as the group planned to relocate to San Diego, the Pacific Northwest, and Ohio. Several neighbors and officials cited broad condemnations of the group’s sackcloth garments, public parades, and their requisition of members possessions.
