Our Fellowship as been permitted to achieve
-- though still in miniature --
the "one world" dream of philosophers.
Ours is a world in which we can hotly differ,
yet never think of schism or conflict as a solution.
As a Fellowship we ask nothing of wealth or power.
As we better use "the language of the heart,"
our communications grow apace;
already we find ourselves in safe passage
through all those barriers of distance and language,
of social distinctions, nationality and creed,
that so divide the world of our time.
Bill W., July 1960
The task ahead of us is never as great
as the Power behind us.
