Global New Thought was begun during a Fulbright Grant in 1992 when the founding minister desired to find a New Thought Center in Vienna, Austria. At this time the internet was mainly used by scholars and the vehicle for sharing the directory was Compuserve. The idea of using domain names was not fully developed as at the time those of us using the internet would use bulletin board systems and telnet. From these humble beginnings, Global New Thought grew to include all denominations of New Thought and with the influx of large numbers of people onto the web, domain names becamse essential to insuring easy access to all seekers of New Thought wisdom

Feedback has resulted in improvements. We serve both Seekers and Sharers of New Thought wisdom and we listen carefully to what our users tell us. The directory has millions of visitors and we are always making adjustments to insure easier access to information, clarity in organization. as well as improved aesthetics. You are essential to this process. We listen to you when you make suggestions.

In different parts of the world, certain denominations are more successful than others. Because the world has a variety of cultures, the variety within New Thought meets the needs of different people. We support all denominations and encourage alliances such as the Dothan, Alabama combination Unity & Science of Mind Center. We understand that different denominations take different approaches and thus resonate with different people. We also understand that we are all talking about the same principles and simply using different approaches to the same challenge of facilitating human enlightenment.

We work with New Thought ministers all over the nation and from all denominations as well as independents. The main qualifying factors is that a ministry is indeed a New Thought Ministry. Our mission precludes working with fundamentalists or with "New Age" ministries. We respect all love based ministries but we must put our energy into the best of love based paths: New Thought. We get many requests for help from fundamentalists. For some reason fundamentalists seem to be excellently in tune to seeking the help they need to expand their audience. But we are a New Thought Ministry and our mission is to "empower seekers and sharers of New Thought."

A common challenge for ministries is good advice concerining domain names, metatags, audio files and other technology questions. We have spoken with a number of ministers who ask us questions about these issues and then after we share our knowledge with them, they confess to having paid over 200 dollars an hour to get the same advice from private consultants who were unable to provide the road map to elegant solutions that assist in excellence in ministry. This is because our Senior Minister has extensive media experience as well as web experience.

We suggest that instead of spending money on private consultants, tithe that money to us and get better solutions while supporting New Thought around the world.
