The webmaster for both FRF and CAN is Dave Hinkley.  He claims to be a
Christian.  His own site is 

	http://www.worship.nu/

Something interesting:

Relioustolerance.org, which may be independent of CAN/FRF, but which is consistently promoted by both, says:

        The "new" Cult Awareness Network is operated the "Foundation for
        Religious Freedom," a California corporation. It is controlled by a
	multi-faith Board of Directors, whose current chairperson is Dr. George
	Robertson, a Baptist minister:

	Pastor George Robertson, DD
	Vice President & Chairman,
	Christian Education Department,
	Maryland Bible College & Seminary,
	6023 Moravia Park Rd.,
	Baltimore, MD 21206

	He is also the Corporate Affairs Administrator and Staff Pastor with
        the Greater Grace World Outreach Church. This church "can be traced to
	1964 and the organization of a 15-member group at a Baptist church in
        Wiscasset, Maine. "The Church is a fundamentalist Christian Church with
        a strong belief in the authority of the Bible." (1)

	http://www.watchman.org/cat95.htm
	Greater Grace World Outreach, Carl H. Stevens, Jr. Baltimore, MD:
        Formerly "The Bible Speaks." Courts required church to return funds to
	millionaire contributor for unethical and illegal actions. Allegedly
        practices mind control and shepherding. See "Shepherding."

and of course Robertson is listed as one them "experts" CAN refers people to:

I think we ought to keep a closer eye on these folks and their organizations.
