ANTN was founded by independent Religious Science ministers who envisioned a spiritual community that would provide heart-centered connection, support and networking for independent Religious Science ministries. They also envisioned a community in which Consciousness was the sole authority. Based on those visions, ANTN was formed in 1992.

Since its inception, ANTN has evolved to include not only
independent Religious Science
ministries, but all New Thought ministries who desire to be a part of such a spiritual community.
