(contracted; show full)n process, to which they readily agreed.  Wapnick spent the next year and a half assisting Schucman in editing the manuscript beyond the point to which Thetford and Schucman had already taken it.  By the autumn of 1975, the material was finally ready for its first official publication.  In this initial publication process, Judith and Robert Skutch, the leaders of the publishing organization, [[Foundation for Inner Peace]] were instrumental.

== Subsequent involvement in publication and teaching of ACIM ==

The ever growing popularity of ACIM seemed to know no bounds, and by 1998, over a million copies had been sold.  Meanwhile, in 1982In 1982, Kenneth Wapnick entered into his second marriage with Gloria Wapnick, whom he met as a result of an encounter at an ACIM related event.  In tThe following year, 1983, Kenneth and Gloria Wapnick founded the [[Foundation for A Course In Miracles]] (or FACIM) in New York state, which was. The foundation served initially as a residential teaching organization, but which laterith the 2001 move to [[Temecula, California]], the foundation evolved into a daytime teaching institute with an ''Electronic Outreach'' program.   In 2001 the Wapnicks relocated both the headquarters of FACIM, and themselves, to Temecula, California.  

Also during the years after the initial publication of ACIM, Wapnick became involved in other publication and distribution activities directly related to ACIM.  Of particular note was Wapnick's development of an exhaustive [[concordance]] for ACIM, as well as the simultaneous release of the 2nd edition of ACIM, which included a uniform passage-numbering-system for all of the numerous passages found within the ACIM material.  This passage-numbering-system was also incorporated within the new concordance.  The thoroughness and accuracy of the concordance produced by Wapnick was fully on a par with some of the more thorough concordances already used for the Christian [[Bible]].  

Another publication and distribution related activity engaged in by Wapnick since the initial publication has been his oversight of the translation of ACIM into numerous non-English languages into which it is still being reformatted.  During this translation process, Wapnick thoroughly interviews each of the prospective translators to assure the absolute accuracy of these translations.

Thus far, the ongoing translation process of ACIM has created no fewer than 14 non-English language translations (2005).  In addition to these activities, Wapnick also currently presents regular lectures, classes and workshops out of the Temecula, California headquarters of FACIM.

The ever growing popularity of ACIM seemed to know no bounds. By 1998, over a million copies had been sold. ⏎
