This weekend Karen Wanjico will lead a workshop on recovering from spiritual abuse.

She says spiritual abuse is when authoritarian religious groups use power and control to instill fear and guilt into worshipers, manipulating them to behave a certain way.

Karen Wanjico had no choice.

Turn away from her mother like the rest of the congregation, or be exterminated by God at Armageddon — which could come any moment — with no hope of resurrection.

On May 19 Bethany Presbyterian Church will host "Recovery from Spiritual Abuse: From Hurt to Healing", a workshop designed to help those who have been harmed by authoritarian religious groups.
