World affirming movement

Wallis- similar to cults, NAM. They accept the world as it is, encourage this wordly benefits, indiviaual spirituality. Don't have hierachy, but a 'teacher'. Don't claim monopoly, see members as clients and carry out normal lives, scientology

Neibuhr

sects don't last after one gen. because: -second gen lack the commitment of their parents. -members work hard as practice of the religion, and are now not marginalised, leaving w rejecting m behind. -In sects, death of leader, so it collapses.

Wallis

Says cults aren't as long lasting, they wither die out as once members have what they need, they leave, or are transformed to meet the needs of the changing demand. W affirming will more likely change to suit 'customers'
