Perry Bulwer spent close to 20 years in The Family International. He dropped
out of high school in 1972 to join the Children of God (COG), as the
organization was then known, when he was just 16 years old. He lived in COG
communes in Canada, the United States, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, Malaysia,
and China. After he left the group in 1991, by then known as The Family of Love,
or simply The Family, he went on to earn a law degree. He was called to the Bar
in 2003 and is a member of The Law Society of British Columbia. Perry is
involved in a number of social justice and human
rights issues, and is an advisory board member
of RISE International, a UK-based community
interest company that advocates children's
rights and supports survivors of child abuse.
