Why was Christ taken out of AA?

First of all, many modern AA's dont even know that he was. The current watered down 4th edition makes no referecnce of him except briefly in Bills Story. Certainly, there is no metion of Christ in the unrepentant homosexual story "Tightrope".So for those who are ignorant of AA's Christian roots a good place to start is to read the conference approved "Dr.Bob and the Good Oldtimers".
There are many good Christian testimonies in the First Edition. Some from people who got sober and stayed sober all their lives. They werent "slippers". Some will say that was the reason. Certainly people like Clarence S. whose story "Home Brewmeister"appeared in the AA Big Book for over 60 years were not deleted because of their lack of sobriety or committment to AA.
I talked to an AA lady the other day about this. She was a longtime 20+ years member of AA and her response was "They found out it didnt work".
So I shot off an e-mail to AA historian Dick B. (www.dickb.com) to find out if it was true. His response:
Dear Ted:
That baloney about the Bible didn't work shows how few people have read our accurate history and have just swallowed the idea that the Oxford Group didn't work, Dr. Bob's efforts didn't work, the Bible didn't work, the Creator didn't work, Jesus Christ didn't work, but radiators and lightbulbs did. The proof is in the facts, not the prejudices. Anyone who cares to can read any of my twenty-five published titles and find accurate documentation that puts the lie to the lady's speculations.
I cannot tell you why Bill deleted the stories of Bible reading and Christian testimony. I can say that Lois claimed there was an "agreement" that A.A. should be "universalized" because not all AAs were Christians. I can tell you that Bill never ever accurately told the A.A. story about the Bible, the Oxford Group, Sam Shoemaker, Anne Smith, Quiet Time, or the Christian literature AAs read. In fact the original program, as reported by Frank Amos, just vanished with Bill's pen in the Big Book. Moreover, there was the famous dispute in Ruth Hock's office where "God as we understood Him" was introduced into the Steps, where Fitz Mayo remonstrated, and where soon over 400 pages were tossed out and which (according to Ruth's account to Bill Pittman) contained mostly Christian and Biblical materials. There may be your complete answer

So what is the answer to Why many of the Christian references taken out of the 2nd Edition of the Big Book? That seems like a good question to me. It appears to be solely the work of Bill Wilson. And it does seem to be more than just coincidence.
