In an address to the "From Clients to Citizens Forum", at the Coady International Institute, the co-director of the Asset Based Community Development Institute John McKnight made the following wonderful comment (amongst many)....
Health, safety, economy, environment, food, children and care are the seven responsibilities of our movement. They are the necessities that only we can fulfill. And when we fail, no institution or government can succeed. Because we are the veritable foundation of the society
McKnight is referring to the movement of the citizens - you and me - taking responsibility for the fact that in the end, we create the world together. The whole address is more than worth a read.
