A Netflix documentary series, 'The Family,' puts the spotlight on the enigmatic Fellowship Foundation, the Christian group behind the National Prayer Breakfast.
A secretive organization that has courted political leaders and built an international influence while undermining the constitutional division of the church and the state in the process is at the center of a new five-episode documentary series called “The Family.”
"The Fellowship isn't about faith and it spreads very little. It's about power," said Jeff Sharlet, whose books,"The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power," and"C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy," inspired the Netflix series. The Prayer Breakfast isn't the only way the Fellowship has infiltrated the highest levels of the U.S. government.
"His teachings on Jesus compelled men to hear what was being shared, compelled me," Hampton said by email. "Doug Coe very intentionally took the group underground. There was a recognition that they could do their best work anonymously."
