You may be thinking of the controversial Children of God movement (Moses Berg), which 
later changed its name to the Family of Love and, under both real *and* imagined 
threats, moved to Switzerland. Now, they are back in the U.S., but they are no more 
controversial in neo-evangelical Christian circles than Victor Paul Weirwille's Way 
Ministries International. I had some interesting discussions with them, when they were 
still the going by the name "Children of God," in Athens, Georgia (1976-1978). They 
used to sing a song called, "We are the 144,000." I am on their email list.

She was a devoted believer. I remember her from my travel teaching trip to Montana.
