Courtney Lyons, assistant director of student success, is the faculty member responsible for spearheading an out-of-class discussion group about religion that has attracted dozens of her former students. The group, which began meeting last semester, is not sponsored…

Upon first glance at the Church of Wells website, one would get the impression that this is a youthful group of scrupulous believers working to further the word of God in a small Texas town. After digging a bit deeper, the reports of death, condemnation to hell, seclusion and arranged marriages paint an eerily different picture.
