Call to Our Guiding Institutions is offered with the understanding XL that those who helped to craft this document and those who choose to endorse and implement it are themselves—like all human beings—influenced by the very institutions addressed here. And because all of us, as social beings, participate in one or more of these institutions, each of us therefore shares responsibility for their endeavors and effects.
This document reflects the collective wisdom of the many thoughtful persons from within each of the guiding institutions who have participated in its drafting leaders, scholars, workers, teachers, executives, interpreters, activists, ethicists, and others. We are deeply indebted to the hundreds of women and men from around the world, young and old, of diverse religious, cultural, and professional backgrounds, who have participated over the past three years in the shaping of this Call.
