Elizabeth Prophet, who has died aged 70, was head of the Summit Lighthouse and the Church Universal and Triumphant, a New Age religious cult which she enjoined to prepare for nuclear Armageddon.

Somewhat overshadowed by L. Ron Hubbard and Reverend Moon in the pantheon of New Age religious entrepreneurs. I think she's probably most famous for her church's squabbles with the US federal government over land use.
I once heard a tape of her leading her congregation in some sort of repeated chant, along the lines of "I am the spirit of heavenly fire, I am the purity God desires". This was the days before YouTube, so it was kind of a treat to be able to hear that sort of thing while sitting in your friend's living room.
