The pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church - Fred Phelps - the group that picket the funerals of dead soldiers (amongst others) died recently.

I was fortunate enough to attend a conference this weekend in Manchester where Nate Phelps, his son, was talking about his experiences growing up in what is generally referred to as 'The Most Hated Family in America', leaving the church (and many of his family) and how his life then changed.

I recorded video of the majority of the talk - it isn't perfect but I highly recommend taking some time to hear the personal and deeply moving account of life and growing up inside the WBC.

Thank you very much, Nate, a truly deserved standing ovation and a brilliant end to a wonderful weekend.
