We are beginning a series of articles on the five principal Christian organizations and people that impacted on the Christian healings and Christian program of early A.A. founded in 1935. A.A. history, to be complete, needs to present these items.
A.A. History needs to know the impact of evangelists and revivalists, the YMCA, the rescue missions, the Salvation Army, and the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor.
We have summarized them all in our new class: "Introductory Foundations for Christian Recovery" and documented the details. See www.dickb.com/IFCR-Class.shtml. We are beginning to flesh the summarized A.A. origins and Christian healing roots in a series of articles on my blog: www.mauihistorian.blogspot.com.
The currently presented article has to do with the famous baseball star and evangelist Billy Sunday. His importance lies in the fact that he was involved in the very same activities that impacted on Dr. Bob and Bill--evangelism and revivals (and conversions), rescue missions, the YMCA, and Young People's Christian Endeavor Society. These plus the Salvation Army established the Christian planks on which the early A.A. Christian fellowship was built, starting in 1935.
