MRA/IofC Global Consultations

From 1989, MRA held regular international gatherings to gather consensus around future direction

The so called Consultation process was initiated in the mid-1980s in order to give new, broader, more transparent and more democratic leadership to MRA, which had become increasingly an uncoordinated grouping of national works and of individual initiatives since the deaths of Frank Buchman and Peter Howard in the sixties. Further, many people felt that they didn’t know how decisions were made, or by whom.

The consultations were designed to look at both issues internal to MRA and related to its calling and role in the world. Many who carried responsibility for the work of MRA, both “full- time” and “fully committed” working in jobs have attended these meetings, which were initially held twice a year and then, since 1995, annually. They issued in new clarity about MRA's “culture,” about goals and about leadership and process.

An overview of the whole process between 1989 and 2001 may be found here.

See the list below for individual Consultation reports. From 2010 onwards, the Global Consultations were replaced by extended Global Assemblies of IofC International, usually about every three years.
