Saturday Morning Opening Session:

This was given by 4 individuals, Arthur Dahl, Peter Adraince, Duncan Hanks and Tahera (sp?) Nailor.

Building and acting upon sustainable principles will cause change and will (should) result in internanl and external transformation. With increased participation will come social action initiatives as well as greater input into social discourse.

Personal observation of this presentation is that a greater focus is being presented by the Baha'i International Community. Much of this discourse is involving bringing to light issues and consequences of Climate Change now taking place in the world.

Saturday Afternoon Session with Bill Davis on Conflict Resolution:

An interesting point that Bill made is that conflict resolution needs to be addressed BEFORE it escalates. Research data proves that when conflict expands into violence, then the application of justice (and the law) is aggrivated.
