Extract:
“The
absence of a Twelve Concepts for World Service scroll to display
alongside the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in meetings appears
to be symbolic of what is lacking in the fellowship; out of sight,
out of mind. Neither recovery nor unity can stand without the Twelve
Concepts for World Service. Perhaps it would be wise to produce a
scroll of the Twelve Concepts for World Service (short form). The
print size will need to be smaller than the other scrolls because
there are more words, but some members will be curious to get up
close. Their presence might lead to conversation and more
interest.
The Twelve Concepts for World Service (Short Form) can be seen online in the pamphlet: “The AA Group”, pages 47-49. http://www.aa.org/pdf/products/p-16_theaagroup.pdf
A greater awareness that the long form of the Twelve Concepts for World Service can be read online in the following publications might also help generate some interest.
