New Religious Movements Memo Like any organisation, New Religious Movements develop and change over time and we’d like you to investigate and examine the possible reasons for such changes. Our Crime Scene Investigation Officers have uncovered a number of potential clues that should help with your investigation by pointing you in the direction of potential sources of change.
