Ways that religion is sometimes harmful will be explored at Lifetree Café on Sunday,
October 8 at 7 p.m.
The program, titled “Toxic Faith: When Religion Hurts,” features a filmed interview with
Sam Brower, the private investigator who cracked open the case that led to the arrest of
Warren Jeffs, the leader of the polygamous Fundamentalist Church of Latter-day Saints.
“It was unbelievable to discover there is this completely lawless town in America that is
run by a church and a dictator,” says Brower. “He (Jeffs) manipulated people and could
get them to do what he wanted through their faith and beliefs.”
During the program, Lifetree Café participants will discover three key factors that are
often associated with toxic faith.
Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is located at Campbell Creek
Connexion on the corner of Union and 13 th St., Arcata.
Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a
casual, comfortable setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Bob at 707 672
