History

The Association for Global New Thought was formed after, "a leadership struggle in 1996 resulted in a number of influential leaders leaving INTA (International New Thought Alliance) to form the Association for Global New Thought."[3] Mary Morrissey was the Association's co-founder and its first president[4][5] alongside Rev. Michael Beckwith.[6]

Activities

Programs of the AGNT include the Season for Nonviolence; the Synthesis Dialogues with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama; the Awaked World Annual Conference; and New Thought Broadcasting.[7]
