Background: (Nearly identical to that, "cult wise" of Tulsi Gabbard, both of her husbands, and the size of these two tiny sects... 2000 souls, or less)
Judge Amy's mommy was a "handmaid"!

Mike Coney, a retired Shell Oil attorney, is now a regional leader of the group, which has its roots around Notre Dame University, where Barrett graduated from law school and taught until 2017. A number of other families involved in People of Praise live along the same Old Metairie road as the Coneys, according to a 2006 piece in the group’s magazine, Vine & Branches, about how the New Orleans area branch, led at the time by Mike Coney, ...
