#question of the day: anyone familiar with resources on how #Alcoholics Anonymous and other #TwelveStep programs evolved out of the #OxfordGroups?
I finished reading a biography of Frank Buchman, who founded the Oxford Groups (an explicitly #Christian organization) and the relationship is discussed briefly.
According to the biography, the founders of AA were originally members of OG and the book portrays split as amicable.
I'd like to understand more deeply AA's roots and evolution

Currently reading On the Tail of a Comet, a #biography of Frank Buchman, founder of the #OxfordGroups (later Moral Rearmament) and from which #AlcoholicsAnonymous (#AA) sprung (the former was explicitly #Christian, the latter #Spiritual). Fascinating and confusing.
