Today's program featured a report on the Global Operating Plan, a massive effort by the World Alliance to support national movements to have mission clarity, program relevance and institutional viability. Great progress reported, whilst electioneering went on everywhere around the village for the elections for World Council Executive. Fascinating to watch who leaves the main hall, and when. Huddles of close heads in deep conversation...
Meanwhile the promised typhoon has fizzled, ah well hot 'n' wet is challenging in itself on our 1 hour commute to and from the village. All good fun.
Yes, the geo-political election priorities of the movement at the international level are always amusing... and sometimes insightful. Having witnessed it in action at the 3 previous World Councils, I have each time wondered where we would be if the best people for the roles were elected solely due to their relevant knowledge and wisdom, rather than the primary election focus being to ensure a "perceived" correct geographical representation is achieved/maintained.
