    The Family International, better known as the Children of God, is one of several deviant sects (Note 1) that emerged from the Jesus People Movement - a religious revival among, for the most part, hippies (1967-1971).

    The group was founded as "Teens for Christ," by David Brandt Berg (1919 -1994), formerly a pastor with the Christian and Missionary Alliance. The name changed first to "Revolution for Jesus," then to "Children of God." Later the movement renamed itself to "Family of Love," and now "The Family International."
