In my research, I read a rather lengthy article about him. (For those reading this sermon on our website, you can find this article: <a href="http://www.baptistwatch.org/fredphelps.html">http://www.baptistwatch.org/fredphelps.html</a> and be prepared for some strong language and shocking details.) His congregation, which is comprised mostly of members of his own family, is more of a cult than anything.
