MRA Global Consultation, Chapel Hill, South Africa, March 1999

Focused on MRA’s named programs and their relationship to the heart and core values of MRA. Confirmed, with some minor changes, the Jamaica proposals for the creation of the International Council and a group of elders and elected its first members through a process which sought consensus. Affirmed the work of MRA’s named programs, of related named programs and of a variety of national programs, viewed as springing from people with a “sense of mission and calling. ” Recognized certain possible unintended consequences of these programs and set out guidelines and recommendations for how the programs might be regularly evaluated and how they might better communicate and coordinate with each other and with the International Council.
