What are the Oxford Groups?
The Oxford Group is a semi-religious and political movement that swept through parts of Europe and America in the early 20th century. Its nominal leader was Frank Buchanan, who had a religious conversion to Christianity in 1908, and would later found the group in 1938 based on his religious beliefs. The group is perhaps best remembered because Bill Wilson, the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) was a group member, and adopted many of its ideas for A.A. Similarly, Dr. Bob, or Robert Smith, was also a member of the group and a founding member of A.A.
