A New Way In
Reaching the Heart of
a Child of God in Recovery with His Own, Powerful Historical Roots
By Dick B.
A unique emphasis on tuning the Christian newcomer in toward
those roots, principles, and practices which were part and parcel of the
original A. A. Christian Fellowship Program in Akron . This to the end that the
newcomer and even the old timer Christians will feel comfortable and challenged
staying IN the A.A. fellowship, remaining solid in their own religious
convictions, buttressed by the knowledge of what the pioneers did with such
great success, and simply refusing to be intimidated or persuaded by the
idolatry, spirituality, and weird “higher power” chatter abounding in today’s
recovery movement. The old-time evangelists like Bill y Sunday and Dwight Moody
contended: “The saved should say so.” Similarly, the saved in today’s A.A.
Fellowship should stand unfettered by those who intolerantly reject this or
that religious belief and argue for a godless unbelieving fellowship. If they
want to say so, they need not feel they are violating any rule or tradition or
principle; they are simply describing their own salvation and believing.
