I am the grandfather of twelve, concerned with what kind of future we are creating for their generation and those that follow. Inspired by David Korten's book The Great Turning: From Empire to Earth Community, I am committed to engaging faith communities in working together toward personal and social transformation. It is our job to engineer the shift from human relations organized according to dominator principles to one organized according to partnership principles. Our religious and spiritual communities have an important role to play in this great work: We must become instruments of personal transformation and the development of higher consciousness.
