Aggressive Christianity Missionary Training Corps
The Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps (abbreviated ACMTC; also known as the Holy Tribal Nation, the Free Love Ministries, or the Life Force Team) was a Biblicist, theocratic intentional community. The ministry, founded in 1981 by James and Deborah Green (sometimes collectively referred to as the Generals; James is often called General James and sometimes Jim; Deborah is referred to as General Deborah, formerly Lila), still retains its military structure, partially based off the original pattern of the Salvation Army. According to this military structure orders are given to people and children who join the group which the Greens expect to be obeyed. These orders often address individual family structures. Moving from its starting location in Sacramento, California, it has now settled east of the rural town of Fence Lake, in Cibola County, New Mexico. It is in the vicinity of Gallup, New Mexico.

—Kent Nerburn (20th century)

—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
