Okay, could someone refresh me here, or inform me, or whatever on the name of this church group, and the church name that the white supremacist who was (apparently mistakenly) suspected in the judge's family shooting?

(Can anyone even figure out my question?)

The actual church is the Living Church of God.

Several church groups meet at the Sheraton at different times. It is a large hotel with many meeting rooms used by organizations and companies.

Hale's cult was at one time called the "Woldwide Church of the Creator." They had to change their name to something else because it violated the trademark of a group in Oregon, who sued. Judge Lefkow (whose husband and mother were murdered) actually ruled in Hale's favor initially, but was overruled by the appeals court and ordered that Hale stop using the name and pay the fine. At that point, Hale solicited to have Lefkow killed and ended up in his rightful place, a jail cell.

Hale's cult now goes by some New-Agish style name that I can't remember. I don't think this church is related in any way, but seems to be some sort of offshoot of Herbert W. Armstrong's Anglo-Israelist strangeness (that the English are one of the lost tribes of Israel).
