Rev. Frank Buchman, was a Protestant Christian evangelist who founded the Oxford Group (known as Moral Re-Armament from 1938 until 2001, and currently known as Initiatives of Change
"This movement makes a great deal of testimony. It is not propagated in the ordinary way by preaching. It seems as though the Word of God, “It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe” (1 Cor. 1:21), has really failed."
"Since it came home to me that it might really be a duty to speak on this subject, I have not been unmindful of that passage in Proverbs 18:13, “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him,” and I have really taken it up with a great deal of reluctance. I want to frankly acknowledge that I have never attended any of the meetings of the Oxford Group Fellowship, I have never listened to any of their testimonies, I have never heard any of their addresses. A week or so ago I was invited with other ministers of this city to go to the Drake Hotel and attend one of their meetings, but as I had to be away from the city that day, I gave my ticket to one of my associates who attended for me and brought me a report of the meeting. Although I have not participated in any of their services, I have read quite a few of their booklets, pamphlets, and addresses, and I have also had the opportunity of meeting and conversing with a number of earnest Christians who at one time were intimately linked with the movement."
