    • Abstract: Samuel Shoemaker began his ministry in Beijing, China, teaching and doing missionary work. While there, he met a mentor in Frank N. D. Buchman, a Pietist Lutheran preacher and activist who would go on to found the Oxford Group. Shoemaker was ordained a priest in 1921 and in 1924 accepted a call as rector of Calvary Church in New York City. He established a rescue mission on the Lower East Side, ministering to men with addictions, including William Wilson, the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. Wilson later described Shoemaker’s ministry as the “spiritual keys” upon which AA was based. Shoemaker’s literary output typically consisted of personal narratives centered on religious experience and transformation.
