David Young has tried to provide a framework of archive material for the development of Initiatives of Change from its early growth in India. He has recorded and assessed its development from the Oxford Group of the 1930s to Moral Re-Armament through the 1940s until the present day. It is a fascinating adventure of God working through so many different people. They come from every background, the high and the mighty as well as the humble and the simple. In this work everyone has a part and the unexpected is always around every corner for those sensitive enough to listen and obey.
Anyone wanting to have a part in this revolutionary action cannot do better than to take a look at the heritage of the past.
David has known India from his childhood. His father lived and was lecturing in St. Stephen's College, Delhi, for more than 30 years and his mother was principal of the Lady Hardinge Medical College for Women in New Delhi. He himself grew up in Delhi during the years of the Imperial Raj as New Delhi was being built and served in the India Army during the Second World War and for 23 years in post-independence India worked with MRA. He writes from first-hand experience of many of the events in the book and from love of a country which feels like home to him.
