Saturday November 5, the meeting commenced at 9:30 AM. It was well attended by our membership. After greetings and introductions, Fred Makortoff used Power Point to present overviews of communication, including - Who are we? Awareness of self, I and they, systems thinking, SWOT - Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats. This took up the AM. In the PM, Ethical Decision Making, prayers, Psalms teaching of Jesus (biblical/historical) spirituality, cultural traditions, form and structure, politics and action. The presentation was well received by those present but unfortunately very little time was left for discussion, regarding application to our immediate problem(s) of getting more people involved in the UNITY program which we believe it is essential to the survival of the Council of Doukhobors.
