Carver who's involved with the C-Street House and turned up a WaPo article which describes the house in Arlington that htuttle links to.

Here's the quote from your Post: ''Our goal is singular — and that is to hope that we can assist them in better understandings of the teachings of Christ, and applying it to their jobs,'' said Richard Carver, a member of the Fellowship's board of directors. He served as an assistant secretary of the Air Force during the Reagan administration.

The house, valued at $1.1 million, is owned by the C Street Center, a sister organization of the Fellowship. It received more than $145,000 in Fellowship grants between 1997 and 2000, according to IRS records — including $96,400 in 1998 for reducing debt.


So they did "franchise it." I was joking, but if it's the same group this is very Creepy. Note the names of the Congressment who are involved with from both articles if anyone reads both.

Dignitaries' Visits Prompt Complaints on Quiet Street

The Fellowship, best known for its National Prayer Breakfast every February, is described by backers as a loosely knit group of friends who advise the rich and powerful on the teachings of Jesus Christ.

In its mission to create global harmony, the Fellowship has for decades quietly brought together Third World leaders, disgraced captains of industry, members of Congress and ambassadors for talks at an imposing white mansion that sits on a hill overlooking the Potomac River. Pop star Michael Jackson was a guest last year.

More than 16 Fellowship families have moved into homes around the Cedars' dead-end street, forming a tight-knit enclave that prays, socializes and home-schools its children together.

The Woodmont neighborhood has long been divided into "Cedars people" and "non-Cedars people." But once news of the burglaries hit, the non-Cedars people were incensed, charging the organization with running group homes for transient and troubled young people without proper permits.

Richard Carver, the Fellowship foundation's president, does not deny that Ivanwald, a male-only house, and Potomac Point, a nearby house for women, meet the county's definition of group homes. That is, more than four unrelated people live in each.
