In 1986, after many years of study and practice of the teachings of East and West, Michael Bernard Beckwith was gifted with the vision of a trans-denominational spiritual community whose doors would be open to all seekers in search of authentic spirituality, personal transformation, and selfless service to humankind. He founded the Agape International Spiritual Center upon his faith in that vision, which has now grown to become one of the nation's largest multicultural, multiracial spiritual movements of its type with a support base of 9,000 local members and 35,000 friends and affiliates from across the U.S. and around the globe.
