ANTN Past, Present, and Future
Rev. Dr. Jerry Troyer joins Rev. Dr. Pjae Stanley. to share information and ideas about where we have been, and where we are going.
In 1992, the New Thought community included several different organizations such as Unity, Religious Science International (RSI), United Churches of Religious Science, Divine Science and Universal Foundation for Better Living (UFBL). That year, a small group of independent thinking religious scientists got together to create a new welcoming and inclusive organization, which became Affiliated New Thought Churches of Religious Science.
Over the years, the new organization expanded to include independent ministers, practitioners, licensed Unity Teachers (LUT’s) and individuals, with the mission of “Connecting the New Thought community through Consciousness and Love.”
Along the way, the name of the organization was officially changed to the Affiliated New Thought Network (ANTN).
Board President Rev. Dr. Jerry Troyer has been peripherally involved since the beginning, and actively involved since 2016.
