Brief history of the magazine

Quest magazine was originally conceived under the name of Human Potential and it was conceived by attorney Stanley Rader as the secular publication of the Ambassador International Cultural Foundation funded by the Worldwide Church of God. Stanley R Rader ( August 13, 1930 &ndash July 2, 2002) was an attorney accountant author and later in life an ordained minister in The Worldwide Church of God (WCG formerly the Radio Church of God, is a Christian church currently based in Glendora California, United States.

Name of the magazine

A unique feature of the magazine was in its name. During its first year of publication it was seen on newsstands as Quest77; which became Quest78 and so on, with every year of publication.

Original concept

The original concept name and design of Human Potential began in the aftermath of the failed prophecies of the Worldwide Church of God as outlined in the 1956 publication 1975 in Prophecy!, which was also written by Herbert W. Armstrong and illustrated by Basil Wolverton.

Cultural orientation

The person attributed with creating the new direction of the church was attorney Stanley Rader. Stanley R Rader ( August 13, 1930 &ndash July 2, 2002) was an attorney accountant author and later in life an ordained minister in His growing importance as the right-hand man to Herbert W. Armstrong began in the wake of the sexual scandals created by Garner Ted Armstrong. Garner Ted Armstrong ( February 9, 1930 - September 15, 2003) was an American evangelist and the son of Herbert W

Before the creation of Quest magazine, in 1973 AICF helped to fund the controversial production of the movie Paper Moon staring the youngster Tatum O'Neal, daughter of actors Ryan O'Neal and Joanna Moore. Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar.

It was because AICF, through its activities such as the publication of Quest magazine, seemed to represent the exact opposite of the views and values of its ultimate sponsor that the Worldwide Church was increasing involved in splits and divisions among its ranks. These defections created dramatic losses in income for the church which in turn undermined the sponsored activities of AICF.

Eventual demise

Due to falling funds the church began to cut back on its funding of AICF and because Quest magazine (which was also supported by paid commercial advertising and a subscription price) never became a profitable enterprise, its assets were eventually sold off to other interests. Its last edition appeared on the newsstands in the month of September 1981. Year 1981 ( MCMLXXXI) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link displays the 1981
