About ANTN

The Affiliated New Network is a worldwide community dedicated to connecting, supporting and advancing the New Thought movement through Consciousness and Love.

It was founded in 1992 by Religious Science ministers Rev. Drs. Harry Morgan Moses and Domenic Polifrone on the belief that Divine Consciousness is the sole authority and on the prevailing principle of autonomy for our members. As the organization expanded and evolved toward greater inclusivity, its original name, “The Affiliated New Thought Churches of Religious Science,” was changed to “The Affiliated New Thought Network.”

For almost 35 years, ANTN has served as a "peer network" - a welcoming home for spiritual seekers, ministers, practitioners, teachers, authors, speakers, centers, churches, organizations and emerging leaders from across the diverse New Thought landscape. We honor the rich variety of New Thought expressions while celebrating the principles that unite us.

Unlike a denomination, ANTN does not govern or regulate its members. Instead, we foster collaboration, collegial support, leadership development, spiritual growth and meaningful connection while honoring the autonomy of every individual and organization. Through inspirational educational programs, mentoring, networking opportunities, prayer support, leadership resources, community care initiatives and our annual retreat, we help individuals and organizations thrive.

We seek to offer guidance, connection and inspiration to our membership. We are open, inviting and always look to find ways to say yes to our membership's needs, desires and wants. Our members have a respected vote, and we value transparency in our organization. If you have a question, just ask.

ANTN serves as a bridge across the New Thought movement, creating opportunities for people and organizations to learn from one another, share resources, amplify their impact and build lasting relationships rooted in mutual respect and a shared vision of a more awakened world.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, ANTN is guided by an elected Board of Directors and supported by dedicated members, volunteers, donors and leaders who are committed to uplifting, inspiring and empowering individuals, spiritual communities and organizations.

Our vision is simple and profound: Connecting the New Thought Community through Consciousness and Love.
