Marianne Williamson is perhaps one of the most outspoken and well-known students of A Course In Miracles. She is a co-leader of the United States Department of Peace movement, sharing leadership responsibilities with United States Congressman Dennis Kucinich. This is a nonprofit organization dedicated to introducing certain principles of non-violence into mainstream American political discourse, by actively lobbying for the creation of a US cabinet level position of Secretary of Peace.
Marianne Williamson's poem "Our Deepest Fear" from the book A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles (1992) begins "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure". It is sometimes incorrectly stated that the quote was also used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech.
In addition to her political and speaking activities, Williamson is a bestselling author of A Return to Love, The Healing of America, A Woman’s Worth, Enchanted Love, Illuminata, and other works. Williamson also does charitable work in aid of people with life-challenging illnesses.
