Charles Fillmore is on of the most important people in the New Thought movement. His fervent desire to make a difference in the world spurred him on from being penniless to creating one of the largest New Thought Denominations in the world. The largest in 2009 is Seicho No Ei (The Japanese New Thought denomination that was started by Fenwicke Holmes and Masaharu Tanaguchi)
Fillmore's firm faith in the divine gave him the strength to place all his works in the public domain as he believed that truth should be available to all people and that God would provide for the ministers of such truth. This proved true for his ministry which continued this practice with many writers that it published until after his death. The availability of his works has certainly made it much easier for the expansion of Unity denominations than for other New Thought Denominations.
