Early A.A. was a Christian Fellowship. Belief in the Creator was required. Acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour was required. Bible study was required. Daily Quiet Time with Bible study, prayer, seeking God’s guidance, and reading Christian devotionals and literature were required. The principles and practices came primarily from what Dr. Robert H. Smith learned from his parents, Sunday school, North Congregational Church, YMCA, and St. Johnsbury Academy. How to become a child of God by accepting Christ was regularly taught in Sunday school. See Dr. Bob of Alcoholics Anonymous. http://dickb.com/drbobofaa.shtml
Bill Wilson’s training at East Congregational Church in his home town and at Manchester Congregational Church which he attended at Burr and Burton Academy was very similar. Both men believed, as did Dr. William D. Silkworth, that Jesus Christ could cure alcoholism and that conversion to Christ was an essential.
