Chapter 3 of Robert Perry's _Path of Light_, about a Course in Miracles, has been a huge influence on my worldview. Yet I'm told by a friend who used to work for Perry that he's engaged in a fight for the purity of the teaching, as any true believer will do. Granted, there's no central organization with a hierarchy and power structure. Instead it has independent interpreters and teachers, who may or may not agree on the teaching. Hence - to buttress John's point - there's no master organization that can excommunicate apostates.
