The Oxford Group

The Oxford Group was a Christian movement founded in the early 20th century emphasizing personal moral improvement, spiritual growth, and service to others. It focused on practicing confession, honesty, and seeking guidance through prayer and reflection. Members believed that personal change could positively impact society and aimed to live ethically and selflessly. The movement influenced many, including the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, and its principles helped shape ideas about recovery, moral renewal, and spiritual development. While the group declined mid-century, its emphasis on personal accountability and spiritual connection continues to resonate in various contexts.
