	Towards A Radical Movement
		In December, 1965 at a national conference of the Students for a Democratic Society the-subject of women's role in society and in the movement was openly discussed.
		A new generation of women sense the boredom and bitterness of their mothers They do not want to be confined to the same roles.
		Women come into the movement with two perspectives: either with a -primary concern for women's issues- as abortion, child day- care centers, or the desire to research, and discuss--in greater depth women's position in society, or with a more general concern about political issues such as racism and the war.

	Holiness Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The holiness movement comprises those groups which have perpetuated and popularized the Wesleyan message of sanctification in the 19th and 20th centuries.
		It is significant that both the Evangelical Missionary Church (formerly Mennonite Brethren in Christ) and the Brethren in Christ were influenced by the holiness movement in the latter half of the 19th century, for that was when the movement reached its greatest strength in North America and Europe.
		For the Brethren in Christ, the transition to a Wesleyan theology of holiness was a slow development, critiqued, modified, and at times resisted, by the "growth view" of sanctification entrenched by a century of denominational heritage.

	Mobilization for Peace. Thirteen Moon Calendar Change Peace Movement.
		To better understand why the New Time Peace Movement will work and what its methods of active non-violence are, as well as the object of its resistance, inclusive of a goal or deadline leading to the complete application of its solution, we must first understand the theory and method of active non-violence.
		Such a movement must open a dialogue to point out that the root problem of civilization, plagued and brought down in the end by war and violence, is to be found in the metaprogram of the calendar by which the dominant society is programmed.
		The New Time Peace Movement recognizes that its object of civil resistance is to eliminate the Gregorian calendar, calling together all peace, spiritual and ecology groups to be in accord on this one point.

	Global citizens movement - Encyclopedia of Earth
		The rapid growth of civil society is a profound source of hope if it represents an early manifestation of a widespread latent desire among concerned citizens who recognize that the world must address a suite of deepening social, economic, and environmental problems, but do not yet know how to take action themselves.
		Such a movement would emerge in opposition to mainstream trends, notions of development, and the meaning of “the good life” and would seek to provide plausible alternative visions (of necessity, rooted in the shared values of quality of life, human solidarity, and sustainability).
		A movement that engaged ordinary citizens throughout the world, as it expanded and matured, would eventually connect with sympathetic partners in political parties, governments, corporations, even the military—and individuals from these sectors could be involved in a GCM in their personal capacity.

		The movement itself was a house divided, with a plethora of political societies and parties, many of which were not on speaking terms with each other; some even forbade membership of more than one society.
		Through the Society and its publication, the Dawn — which Bliss also founded and edited — he argued that Christian and socialist teachings were not only compatible on many levels, but could be fused into a greater political/religious movement in which the needs of this world and of the next could both be catered for.
		Such a movement, Bliss argued, must be as inclusive as possible, crossing geographical and political boundaries and including all those who sought to reform society for the better: secular or religious, male or female, American or European made no odds.

	In Defense of the Student Movement, by Noam Chomsky
		The student movement today is the one organized, significant segment of the intellectual community that has a real and active commitment to the kind of social change that our society desperately needs.
		My reason for doing this is precisely because I think that the student movement does have a historic mission, and I think it would be a great tragedy if the tendencies to which I have referred were to lead it into such disaster that this mission will not be fulfilled.
		Then it might be that the trustees and the administration would step in to erect new barriers against the implementation of study and research and teaching that leads to radical conclusions and the action programs that ought to flow from honest, serious research.

		The history of any movement, especially one of spiritual origin, is best authored by a protagonist, by one who is convinced of the worthiness of his theme.
		The Theosophical Movement had, and has, if it live true to its purposes and ideals, the backing of certain wise men of the East who possess the light and who are ever ready to help.

		But there is also a growing student movement dedicated to the promotion of democracy and human rights in countries where brutal tyrants crush the human spirit.
		While students have taken to the streets on behalf of good causes such as the plight of exploited workers in Vietnam and desperate refugees in Central Africa, none of them seem to recognize that the ultimate cause of such suffering is a lack of democratic government.
		We are deeply troubled by last week's news that the Bush Administration failed to request any money for reconstruction in Afghanistan in the 2003 budget, and we applaud Congress for stepping in to add the funds.

	SDS: Students for Democratic Society
		NEW LEFT--A political movement originating in the United States in the 1960s that actively advocated (as by demonstrations and education efforts) radical changes in prevailing social, political, and educational practices (Webster's Dictionary, 9th ed.).

		This campus political awakening, dubbed the “New Left,” developed around a core of “red-diaper babies,” the children of parents who were themselves politically active and who had participated in progressive, and even radical, social movements in the 1930s.

		The New Age movement claims to be able to acquire this knowledge in an esoteric way through such methods as dream analysis and through the medium of a “spiritual master.
		For the New Age devotee, spirituality means the use of the powers of nature and of an imaginary cosmic “energy” to communicate with another world and to discover the fate of an individual, or to help to make the most of oneself.
