In 1970, Wierwille formalized his selection and training of ministry leaders by starting "The Way Corps". The Way Corps' motto is "It Is Written". Prior to the First Corps Wierwille invited a group of Way followers to New Knoxville for training and teaching. He disbanded the group for reasons which were never made public, other than a statement in "The Way: Living in Love" that they "never got it together among themselves," and that Wierwille "gave them the privilege of leaving". This group was later referred to as "The Zero Corps".
