David said : “ creating a Family Order was an audacious “Grand Experiment” with lofty intentions, that so many Order Adults, including himself, were ill equipped emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually (jw: Might also add economically culturally and …) to pull it off, especially with regard to caring for the children, and exacerbated by the drive to scale the global presence and scope of the mission so quickly without sufficiently trained human capacity. “
Currently there is an initiative to work on inner development goals (https://innerdevelopmentgoals.org/framework/#explore) to complement the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. I wonder if these give some indication of what, looking back, we were lacking….
2 of my grandkids gave me a book on Nicaragua, Blood of Brothers, and as soon as I finish that, I’m sending for your book!!
Deep thanks for all the conversation
