The
meeting was generously hosted by Bond Zonder Nam, the ‘Movement Without a Name'
CC, and its Executive Director, Patrick Hanjoul, June 10-15 and brought
together Trustees representing all seven geographic regions and one virtual region
across the globe.
Early in the week, the Global Council, which consists of Trustees from
numerous religious and spiritual traditions and 18 countries, time was given to
in-depth interfaith dialogue about retired California Episcopal Bishop and URI
founder William Swing’s vision of URI’s future.

”The open, loving, and challenging
conversation demonstrated the depth of relationship that has developed among
the GC Trustees and the increasing willingness of its members to take
conversation to a deep level,” said URI Executive Director Rev. Charles Gibbs.
“With great power and generosity, they shared their concerns and ensured that
the movement to fuel substantial growth to URI would not endanger the spirit of
our charter or the integrity of our organization.”

This type
of dialogue continued throughout the gathering and continued through
discussions on proposed structural changes within URI.
