### Its timeline
- 1962–1963 De Grimston and MacLean leave Scientology; found Compulsions Analysis, a psychotherapy practice, in Mayfair.
- 1966 About 30 members withdraw to Xtul on the Yucatán coast; a hurricane there becomes the movement's founding myth.
- 1967–1971 Chapters open in London, New Orleans, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, New York and Boston; the magazine and the street-selling operation become well known.
- 1971 Ed Sanders' The Family alleges a Manson connection; the Process sues and the allegation is removed from later editions. No credible link has ever been established.
- 1974 Mary Ann expels Robert de Grimston, drops the Satan and Lucifer theology, and renames the organisation the Foundation Faith of God, then the Foundation Church of the Millennium.
- 1993 The remnant reorganises as BEST FRIENDS ANIMAL SOCIETY in Kanab, Utah — today one of the largest animal welfare organisations in the United States, whose leadership includes several former Process members.
- 2005 Mary Ann MacLean dies.
