The Body of Christ

The Body of Christ

The Body of Christ, or the Attleboro cult, was a small religious group founded in Attleboro, Massachusetts. It began as a Bible study group in the late 1970s, but became a destructive Christian cult. It was broken up in the late 1990s after the beliefs of the group directly caused the death of two infant children, who were then secretly buried in Baxter State Park in Maine.
