I get regular updates by email from the American Family Foundation. Got one today announcing their new website and name change to International Cultic Studies Association.
Here's the newletter that has links to the sites and articles listed. Haven't had a chance to look at the new site yet, but it looks good at a glance so I thought I'd pass this along.
