The Roots of Early A.A.’s Original Program
______________________________________________________________________________
The Transition of A.A. History to This New Era
The Substantial, Supportive Commonality of the Christian Upbringing of
Bill W. and Dr. Bob
1.
Twenty-two years of research, travel, interviews,
reading, visits to libraries and archives, and analysis of the long-missing
parts of Alcoholics Anonymous History
2.
The Conference in May, 2009 in Irvine, California where
the hunger of Christian recovery leaders, workers, and newcomers for knowledge
of A.A.’s Christian roots became a pressing issue; and it fostered the
International Christian Recovery
Coalition
3.
The ensuing three years when the new Christian Recovery
Movement became a worldwide endeavor to restore the power and love of God and His Son Jesus Christ, and the
truth of the Bible to actual
fellowships, programs, meetings, resource centers, and media outlets.
4.
Our new conviction that a new era of A.A. History has
begun. It is the era of investigating, documenting,
and reporting the commonality of, and applicability of, the First Century
Christian Fellowship principles and practices abounding in Vermont, absorbed in
the Christian upbringing of Bill Wilson, Dr. Bob Smith, and Ebby Thacher in
their Vermont days

In our second special “Christian Recovery Radio with Dick
B.” show, we highlighted our latest book, Bill
W. and Dr. Bob, the Green Mountain Men of Vermont: The Roots of Early A.A.’s
Original Program.
This special show is presented on the eve of our 10-day trip
to Vermont where we will conduct A.A. history workshops in Burlington, St.
Johnsbury, Northfield, Manchester, and East Dorset, Vermont. Places where one
can find the real evidence of the Christian upbringings of three key figures in
early A.A: (1) A.A. cofounder Bill Wilson; (2) A.A. cofounder Dr. Bob Smith;
and (3) the man that Bill Wilson called his sponsor, Ebby Thacher.
We presented a brief
overview of the 13 chapters in our new book by highlighting five important
topics covered in the book: (1) The long-overdue return to A.A.’s Vermont roots
and the trails that led us there. (2) What was going on with Bill Wilson, his
friend Ebby, Rowland Hazard, Shep Cornell, and Cebra Graves at East Dorset,
Manchester, Burr and Burton Academy, and other Vermont locations. (3) St.
Johnsbury individuals, organizations, and institutions that directly impacted
Dr. Bob’s ideas. (4) How these happenings relate to A.A.’s “original program.”
(5) How the detailed facts presented in our book can help others today.
