Gestefelt went on to publish a book under the title, "Ursula N. Gestefeld's Statement of Christian Science," and although she had given full credit to Mrs. Eddy as its founder, it eventually caused Eddy to denounce Ursula Gestefelt in the Christian Science Journal and practically cut her off from her movement. Ursula reacted vigorously to Eddy's attack upon her and wrote a caustic pamphlet under the title Jesuitism in Christian Science. Although Gestefelt was expelled from the Christian Science association, she would go on to launch an independent career of healing and teaching. She soon became recognized as a leader in the metaphysial movement which later came to be called New Thought. Ursula N. gestefelt established herself and her work mainly in Chicago, publishing books and magazines and maintaining a center and a church to spread her ideas. Around this time she developed a system which she called Science of Being, and also formed the Exodus Club, a non-sectarian group ;the Exodus Club would eventually evolve into a church which Ursula named. "The Church of the New Thought". It was here where she trained other women to become certified leaders, teachers and pastors. She was also founder of the Illinois Woman's Press Association. In 1895, Gestefeld contributed to The Woman's Bible, which summarized the Science of Being principles. At this time, she also started her monthly magazine for the New Thought movement called Exodus, serving as its writer, editor and publisher. Bu the turn of the century, Ursula Gestefeld expanded her mental healing theories to include wealth and prosperity. She was a frequent speaker in many metaphysical movement congresses, and also served as a member of the Executive committee of the Metaphysical League. Gestefelt was also present during the formation of the first International New Thought Alliance in London in 1914, and she continued to lecture and write throughout the 1910's. She passed away of toxemia in 1921.
