Reading that excellent entry on Every Nation reminded me of the church my cousins were involved through the 1980's.

The name of the church was One Way, and their slogan was "One Way To God!" This early mega-church had a large venue in Augusta, GA, and broadcast its Sunday services on local TV. They were part of the electric church, and had a giant light-up hand over I-20 with the pointing finger up - One Way up, get it? Members were encouraged to pull their children out of public school to attend their own brand of private schooling.

Looking back on it, I now realise two of my cousins tried to escape this authoritarian environment. At the time, I didn't understand what they were going through. One escaped, one got sucked back into the same sort of lifestyle - he just didn't have the skills to leave.

Anyway, I know One Way imploded in the midst of moral and financial scandal in the early 1990's. Could anyone point me towards resources on this late Dominionist church?
