Frank Buchman

... it's a big-

Yeah, so I go into holiness circles and their use of small groups and how those small groups become adapted over time by people like Frank Buchman of the Oxford Group, if that's a name familiar to you.

Probably won't be, but he directly influenced Abram Vereide, who went on to found the National Prayer Breakfast movement, and, um, which has evolved into ICL or The Fellowship, The Family.

Jeff Sharlet has written about that.

And holiness theology really becomes a popular movement within the middle classes and upper classes.

And one key figure, a man by the name of Frank Buchman, who takes holiness theology and applies it to a system of life-changing evangelism and then also world-changing, is trying to change the whole world.

It's very tantalizing, seductive even.

But the most efficient way, they realize, to do that is to go for the powerful.
