Gordon Winrod: Militant Christian Identity

Gordon P. Winrod was a white supremacist leader from the Midwest who gained notoriety in the 1990s for spreading the Christian Identity doctrine through evangelism and thousands of "Winrod Letters" mailed to multiple states in the U.S. The letters declared that America was facing a "Jewish problem", and that the only way it could be solved was with bloodshed. Winrod was eventually arrested for the kidnapping of six grandchildren from North Dakota, and is serving a 30-year prison sentence. According to former members of Branham's "Message" cult of personality, Winrod actively worked with churches in Branham's sect until his arrest.

Gordon was the son of Gerald Winrod, nicknamed the "Kansas Hitler" and "Jayhawk Nazi" for his antisemitic propaganda and spread of white supremacy. Gerald worked closely with several key figures either involved with or who strongly influenced the Latter Rain and New Apostolic Reformation movements. His organization, "The Defenders of the Christian Faith", held nationwide conferences that attracted several prominent figures in Christian Fundamentalism, including Charles Fuller and Paul Rader.

Gordon Winrod graduated from the Concordia Theological Seminary in Springfield, Illinois, in 1955. He then served as pastor of Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) congregations in Mount Carmel, Illinois, San Antonio, Texas, and in Little Rock, Arkansas. At the time of his arrest, Winrod was the central figure for a destructive Christian Identity cult in Gainesville, Missouri.
