Extract:
“ Suggest
the General Warranties of Conference (Concept 12 (short form) are
read at the beginning of each group or intergroup business meeting or
group conscience, for the Twelve Concepts for World Service are
applicable to all levels of the service structure. The reader could
adapt the warranties to the appropriate level of service by
exchanging the words “General Service Conference” with “Group”
“committee” “intergroup” as appropriate. For example, the
General warranties (Short form) adapted to group level:
“in all its proceedings the Group shall observe the spirit of the A.A. Tradition taking great care that the Group never becomes the seat of perilous wealth or power; that sufficient operating funds, plus an ample reserve, be its prudent financial principle; that none of the Group members shall ever be placed in a position of unqualified authority over any of the others; that all important decisions be reached by discussion, vote and whenever possible, by substantial unanimity; that no Group action ever be personally punitive or an incitement to public controversy; that though the Group may act for the service of Alcoholics Anonymous, it shall never perform any acts of government; and that, like the Society of Alcoholics Anonymous which it serves, the Group itself shall always remain democratic in thought and action.” “
