Inspired at the AOA

Dick Mynen here, coming from inside the room at the AOA. What a wonderfully inspired group this is. As a new member of the national council, it’s hard to imagine a better way to bring the voice of BC to Development and Peace than to be part of a meeting where people from across the country and the world are coming together in person here in Montreal as delegates and more importantly from the blog site, emails, prepared submissions and from video feeds right across the country.

This is truly is a National Assembly, where the voices of our grass roots are shaping our thoughts and focusing our discussions on what the people are saying. The issues of our roots, faith, branding, education, the environment our ecology, and at the fore front, the people of the global south whom we are here to serve. They, we, are all part of the conversation while change is everywhere around us and within us.

Please keep your comments and thoughts coming from across Canada as we are eager for your input as we help to set the stage for the next 5 year strategic plan.
