Francisco Coll had been teaching and speaking on individual spiritual unfoldment for a 
    number of years. He felt there should be a coordinating and follow-up program for those 
    people who were interested but needed further help. He was unable to find any organization 
    to do this work. Each one seemed to have its Own program. He wished a minimum of organization
    but a maximum of efficiency.
    He considered the matter in meditation and discussed it with certain individuals who 
    expressed interest and willingness to cooperate. Therefore, following inner guidance, he 
    called together the following individuals to meet at 5618 Nevada Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C.
    on January 23, 1964:

  The Rev. Carl E. Showalter, Pastor, Church of the Brethern, Peru, Indiana.

  Mini Rhea, Fashion Coordiantor for Beeline Fashions, Mt. Prospect, Illinois.

  Mary Glover, Executive Secretary of both The House of Loisglover and the Loisglover Peace 
               Foundation, Washington, D.C.

  Alice Glover, Social Secretary of both the House of Loisglover and the Loisglover Peace 
                Foundation, Washington, D.C.

  Dorothy Glover, Organization Secretary of both the House of Loisglover and the Loisglover 
                  Peace Foundation, Washington, D.C.

The group met in various sessions on January 23 and 24, 1964.
    There was lively discussion of what was already being done to help individuals and groups to
     know themselves and to find a fuller spiritual meaning to life, and of what were the needs 
     still to be met.

The Rev. Showalter expressed his desire to understand better the metaphysical teaching of 
    Jesus and said that he had received guidance to relinquish his pastorate in order to devote 
    full time to a program of evangelism through love.

Mini Rhea expressed interest in the possibilities of personal development through small study or 
    prayer groups. She believed much could be done through dress and color therapy.

The Glover sisters all expressed deep interest in the proposals and promised to give every 
    possible cooperation.

The Rev. Coll said, "We can give people the tools to find themselves, and in finding themselves 
    they will find the Living Christ."

It was, therefore, decided to incorporate as a non-profit, non-political organization to bring 
cooperation among individuals and groups who are seeking inner peace through spiritual growth; 
the name of the organization to be INNER PEACE MOVEMENT.

    It was agreed to adopt the Coat of Arms designed by Loisglover but to leave the scroll 
    without a name. This Coat of Arms was copyrighted April 26, 1946, Class G, Pub. No 1103, 
    by the House of Loisglover. The group was told that the right to use this Crest could be 
    transferred to Inner Peace Movement.

It was agreed that the membership of IPM shall be $5.00 annually per person and that a 
    membership application blank and card be prepared and printed.

It was agreed to use P.O. Box 7612, Washington, D.C. 20044, as the mailing address and the 
Glover home at 5618 Nevada Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20015, as headquarters for the present. 

The following officers were chosen: 

The Rev. Francisco Coll, President
The Rev. Carl Showalter, First Vice President 
Mary Glover, Executive 
Secretary Alice Glover, Treasurer
Dorothy Glover, Organization Secretary
Mini Rhea, National Field Coordinator

The IPM charter was adopted and filed with the Recorder of Deeds, 
Washington, D.C., on January 24, 1964.
