History of the Association for Creative Change
In 1968, a small group of behavioral scientists founded the Association for Creative Change (ACC), originally the Association of Religion and Applied Behavioral Science (ARABS). The group was primarily a means of networking and professional development for behavioral scientists who worked in religious systems such as denominational administrative offices, as ordained or lay ministers, or as Christian education professionals. The organization held annual conferences, produced a newsletter and a journal, and offered two professional certifications: Laboratory Trainer and Professional Member. The ACC expanded to include partner membership organizations in Canada and South Africa. Dwindling membership led to the organization's dissolution in 1996.
