Description

The Followers of Christ meetinghouse on Molalla Avenue in Oregon City. Official membership numbers are hard to come by. Former members estimate 1,000 to 1,200 people belong to the sect, which rejects medical treatment.

The Oregonian/OregonLive and ProPublica have partnered on a series of articles in recent months about the Followers of Christ in Oregon and Idaho, focusing on the long history of parents in Followers congregations declining to seek medical care for their critically ill children and the sometimes fatal consequences.
