How does the toxicity of cults filter down into today's mainstream churches?
RICHARD TURNER grew up near Liverpool, UK. He trained as a therapist before finding a placement within a charity linked to a church - a controlling cult that quickly seduced him into their ranks.
Today Richard counsels people who have left cults, bringing his own unique perspective as a cult survivor to the table.
