OTTAWA MEETINGS' ORIGINAL MATERIALS ARCHIVES
Original Materials and Literature used by the early Ottawa ACA Groups during their meetings
Listed below is a table of all the materials that were being used by the
Ottawa groups including the Inner Peace Group for their meetings over the last 30 years.
Most of the documents were adopted from literature by early adult child researchers
before the ACA World Services Organization existed. A few docs were created by the Ottawa
groups themselves to help the functioning during the meeting. Many of the documents are
the same as those of the ACA WSO while others have minor differences. The revived Inner Peace
in-person meetings will use the ACA Big Red book as it's source for documents to keep
expenses down.
