In 1975 when A Course in Miracles was first introduced to a handful of interested students, the only way for others to learn about it was through word-of-mouth gatherings. Yet this little grassroots beginning without fanfare soon began growing so rapidly that local and national news outlets took notice and felt compelled to report on this “miracles story” – and those involved in it.
In recalling that early period of the 1970s and ‘80s – when the Course with its participating students made history – a random display of news clippings from the Course‘s archives was assembled for viewing and reading. They range widely from the likes of The New York Times, Philadelphia Enquirer, The Guardian (London) to USA Today, San Francisco Examiner, and the Dallas Times Herald.
