Philosophy

We believe that all creation is sacred and interconnected, and interdependent. We believe God’s deepest desire is that the transforming power of love be incarnated and transform the predominant worldview that promotes the systems of separation and domination. We believe that a small group of committed persons can help change the world.

Mission

The mission of the Global Concerns Resource Team is to foster understanding of an expanding worldview so that, together with other committed persons, we may make choices based on new insights.
