All around us in the world today we are witnessing
the tyranny of majorities and the even worse tyranny
of very small minorities invested with absolute power. . .
We believe that the spirit of democracy in our Fellowship
and in our world service structure will always survive,
despite the counter forces which will no doubt
continue to beat upon us. . .
We need to maintain only a structure of service
that holds aloft our Traditions . . .
and so steadily carries our message to those who suffer.
- Bill W., 1962.
The Twelve Steps tell us how it works;
the Twelve Traditions tell us why it works.
A N O N Y M O U S = Actions, Not Our Names Yield Maintenance Of Unity and Service.
