What is happening to children born into so-called 'cults'? Are they captive, abused or free? And what should be done about this situation?
Ever since the spiritual seekers of the 1960s and '70s settled down in new religious communities to raise alternative families, these concerns have been expressed by journalists, social workers and government deputies. While 'hippy' parents voluntarily embraced radical social experiments, their children today are gazing with curiosity at the surrounding world they never chose to reject. Many leave; a few write their memoirs.
The presence of children in these religions challenges basic assumptions about religious freedom. For some, 'religious freedom' means 'freedom from religion'. For others, children have the right to practice their parents' faith.
To learn more about what will be discussed in this symposium, as well as more information about Dr Palmer and her work, please see the attached document.
