	THE PRINCETON ENQUIRY
		Buchman was from then on cast by the press at large as the leader of a strange and unhealthy sect, another Rasputin exploiting a brief encounter with royalty, who operated in 'darkened rooms', 'holding hands', 'hysterical', 'erotic', 'morbid'.*
		Buchman was deeply hurt by these insinuations, especially hating being made to look like the leader of a new cult, the more so as his own name was used to describe what he regarded as God's work and not his.
		Buchman replied thanking her for her 'frank letter': 'You are marvellous on a human basis, but the truth is that you lack the maximum power.

	ZoomInfo Web Summary: Inside Buchmanism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		I am reminded of a contemporary critic of Frank Buchman's Oxford Group, Pastor H. Ironside, who criticized Buchmanism by saying that it was not a Christian religion, in spite of Buchman's claims that it was, because everything in Buchmanism would still be possible even if Jesus Christ had never been born.
		New people may be converted to believing in Buchmanism, but they were supposed to continue as members of their original church while simultaneously attending numerous Group meetings.
		The [Buchmanism] Group uses measures equally undignified as a means of appeal to gilded youth.

		The third is Frank Buchman, who, in my opinion, is seventy-five per cent cute, keen American business man. He, through the organisation of the meeting at the Eastbourne House Party that I described in the preceding chapter, gave at least a glimmer of what applied Christianity might mean to the world.
		At Dr. Buchman's meeting there spoke a handful of thoughtful people representing different nations and types, who showed how the interpretation of the philosopher and the soldier could provide a common meeting-ground, and that such a God-directed life is a practical possibility in the world of politics and economics, as well as in personal relationships.
		Buchmanism has proved beyond doubt not only through the numbers of its adherents, but through the interest of its far greater number of thoughtful critics, that the world is not pagan or indifferent.

		Many leaders, Buchman states, are convinced that the world needs a moral and spiritual awakening, and they put their case in striking phrases.
		But for Frank Buchman it would be more truthful to say that the detailed, constant, accurate leading of God is as natural and powerful as daylight.

		Frank Buchman believed that the age of miracles had returned, that people could have direct, personal access to God, that people could be "changed", and that confession was necessary for "change".
		Buchman and his followers were allegedly channelling God while receiving Guidance, not much different, really, from some spiritist or medium who claims to be channelling the spirits of dead people.
		Buchman redefined the word "sanity" to mean "living according to the Will of God" and "insanity" was living a life not "Guided" by God.

		Frank Buchman (1878-1961) believed that the only sane people in the world were those who were under what he called "God-control" and the only way to achieve Buchman's idea of god-control was to be a member of his cult.
		Though Frank Buchman is a relatively obscure figure in contemporary society, the spirit of Buchmanism lives on through the practice of 12-step programs.
		This is just pure Buchmanism, the belief that one must actually hear the voice of the Boundless Being and literally do what that voice tells them to do.

		Frank Buchman was a Lutheran evangelist and sometime YMCA secretary in Pennsylvania who in the 1920s repackaged evangelical Christianity for British and American elite universities, creating a religious message tailor-made for a community of young men.
		The religious group experience, especially the importance of repentance and the cultivation of love, rather than the adherence to, or propagation of, theological doctrines, became the hallmark of Buchmanism, later to be "re-christened" as Moral Re-Armament.
		Concentrating on undergraduate heroes, especially champion athletes, Buchman propounded an evangelism suitable for the leaders of the post-1918 world's commercial and scientific age.

		And just as the physicist thrills at the universes he discovers as he works inward in the quest of his electrons, so the average man exults in his apprehension of fundamentals of psychology.
		New cults spring up, attesting to the Truth--as they see it--countless fleets of Theism, Buchmanism, Theosophy, Bahai'ism, etc., sail under brightly colored flags; and Atheism is flaunting itself on the horizon.
		The findings here--in this strange volume--bring the reader into a large inland sea, cut off from the traffic and the tempest that have sprung up in the West; and untouched by the crosscurrents of dogmas and presumptions that have cluttered historic centuries.

		If there's one thing which I cannot tolerate more than two-hatting Buchmanites are the snake-oil peddlers who claim they are against the 12-Step cult yet espouse its tenets.
		The tragedy is that all of Buchmanism's myths and tenets have been thoroughly debunked and the organization it spawned from, Alcoholics Anonymous, has been unequivically proven through its own doctrines to be a sinister pro-addiction destructive thought reform religious cult.
		There are now websites and books available which appear to be staunchly against Buchmanism on the surface.

	Chapel, The University,
		The various activities of this old Princeton institution, later carried on by the Student-Faculty Association (1930-1946) and the Student Christian Association (1946-1967), have been continued under the auspices of the Chapel Fellowship and its related social service organization, the Student Volunteers Council (1967-).
		In 1925 President Hibben forbade the Reverend Frank Buchman, founder of the Oxford Group and later of Moral Rearmament, to appear on campus, in consequence of a conflict about his controversial techniques, particularly as practiced by recent converts.
		(It was the contention thus aroused that led to the dissolution of the Philadelphian Society.) In the 1926 report of the University commission on Buchmanism, the hope was expressed that the new chapel and its minister w~ould be a ~means of achieving religious harmony on the campus.

		At heart this theology will destroy the true genius of Protestantism, which looks to the revelation of God in the Bible as the final arbiter of faith and conduct.
		The same tendency to emphasize experience rather than the Bible as the norm for Christian life is manifest in Dr. Mackay's endorsement of Buchmanism, a movement which includes men and women of all shades of thought and belief and which judges the validity of a person's religion by the quality of his "changed life" experience.
		In opposition to this point of view the Princeton of old fought, and fought vigorously, to show the vagaries of human experience in all of its subtleties and to demonstrate that human experience, instead of being a guide in religion, must itself be tested and judged by the Bible.
