The song below (by Canadians, Kate and Anna McGarrigle) as indicative of the times it may have been, CANNOT be attributed directly to the Gospel Outreach article as the movement was ALWAYS based in Humboldt (not Mendocino) County...
I bid farewell to the state of ol' New York My home away from home In the state of New York I came of age When first I started roaming And the trees grow high in New York state And they shine like gold in Autumn Never had the blues from whence I came But in New York state I caught 'em Talk to me of Mendocino Closing my eyes I hear the sea Must I wait, must I follow? Won't you say "Come with me?" And it's on to Southbend, Indiana Flat out on the western plain Rise up over the Rockies and down on into California Out to where but the rocks remain And let the sun set on the ocean I will watch it from the shore Let the sun rise over the redwoods I'll rise with it till I rise no more Talk to me of Mendocino closing my eyes, I hear the sea Must I wait, must I follow? Won't you say "Come with me?" Norcalal ( talk) 17:42, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Aren't song lyrics copyright? Should they be here? Ellin Beltz ( talk) 15:12, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
I spent an hour this morning finding, cleaning or inserting citations to this article. I also removed an entire paragraph which read, "Radiance was an outreach branch of the church that released media in the form of tapes, which featured music and teachings by Jim Durkin and other church leaders. The Radiance Music Restoration Project [1] features "Rediscovered musical treasures from the great revival of the early 70's." I removed this paragraph because I can find no citable link that Radiance is part of this movement other than on its own webpage. Since they are selling stuff, it would seem to self-promotion via Wiki. I also cannot find anything citable about the "Central Message" so I inserted citation tags.

This is a controversial religious group, and this article doesn't seem to reflect that. At least some of the edits seem to be by Church members, including one that deletes negative information. I don't have much information - I came here to learn why it was controversial. But here are the sources I eventually found to answer my question:
