The Lambs of Christ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lambs of Christ, also known as Victim Souls of the Unborn Christ-Child, is an extremist anti-abortion organization in the United States. It was founded in 1988 by Norman Weslin. It is sometimes termed a Christian terrorist organization.[1]

Membership of the Lambs of Christ is mostly Roman Catholic. The group claims to be nonviolent.[2] However, members of the group have been linked to several incidents of violence, notably James Kopp, who murdered physician Barnett Slepian in 1998.[3]
