From Whence We Came

Explore an interactive chart showing the evolution of New Thought and the interconnection of some of its major personalities. The chart is linked to the available Wikipedia pages for them. Clicking on the name of the person or organization will take you to their Wikipedia page. Where Wikipedia had no page, there is no link. In some cases the Wikipedia page for a person, or organization would reference the other as well, and in those cases there is one link covering both boxes. For "Mildred and Charles Fillmore," clicking on "Mildred" will link to her page, on "Charles" to his. Clicking on the name of the chart's creator, Rev. David F. Alexander, will take you to his webpage.

If you are viewing this on a mobile device or tablet, the table may not appear, or links may not function. Click the button below and the pdf file that is the chart will open in your browser of choice with all the links functional.
