PART THREE: GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES

The impact of the events of our time has awakened in every man a new consciousness that his living space is the Universe and his particular grounding is nothing less than the Globe. As never before, man is aware of the inter­relatedness of every aspect of the globe. Knowing that it is impossible to live in isolation from any part of the world, the global man has emerged.

However, within the context of the globe, man is always concretely grounded in a particular geographical setting, wherever that is. He is at once then local and global. There is in every geographical setting that dynamic which holds in tension and relates the limited and local to the more comprehensive. The structure of the world and the church originally came into being in response to the inter­relatedness of life itself.

The Operational Designs of the Movement are related to particular geographical settings. At different geographical levels the designs form different coordinates, functioning in accordance with the geographical dynamic.

In order to hold this dynamical relation of geography and to practically relate to the entire globe, the Movement has delineated nine (9) geographical coordinates. The inter­relation of these nine geo­coordinates is held by three (3) groupings representing the Localis, the Regionalis, and the Globalis. The Globalis represents the largest geographical context of the Continent, the Sphere and the Globe. The Localis represents the local geographical context of the Parish, the Micro(polis) and the Polis. That geographical context which serves to relate the Localis to the Globalis is the Regionalis: the Metro(polis ), the Region and the Area

LOCALIS			REGIONALIS				GLOBALIS
PARISH	MICRO	POLIS	REGION	AREA	CONT	SPHERE		GLOBE
50,000	69,984	11,664	324	54	9	3		1

The life dynamic of relating the local and the global 1s not limited, however, to any particular geography, but is present within every geosocial grouping.

LOCALIS

	The Micro geo­coordinate functions as the coordinating dynamic which enables common planning among Parishes. The Micro dynamic provides the framework for the network of Ecumenical Parishes. When the full Localis dynamic is active, the one thrust in the midst of diverse Parishes is maintained.
PARISH COMPONENTS	At the Parish level the operating designs take a particular form. Within the congregational bodies there are ecclesiolas, membership committees, and symbolic leaders. Included in the cadres are cadre collegiums, local church auxiliaries, and recruitment coordinators. Demonstration forces operate as parish collegiums, social guilds and care structures units. Parish leadership forms the presidium, symbol/celebration coordinators, and problem solving units to aid in the operation of parish internal structures.
PARISH FUNCTIONS	Wherever man had created society: there has been training, future projection, structures for engaging local man and program development. On the Parish level, training troops includes in­depth training congregation members in corporate style, nurturing of cadre members for priorship roles, and re­educating the parish population/ Futuric projection involves tactical strategizing by the 1oca1 church auxiliaries which signals the possibility of programs for the Parish and creates the vision of the future of the Parish. Other operations function to engage local man by initiating his involvement in the local church, relaying recruitment data to the Polis, and utilizing local man's abilities in implementing the social task in the Parish. A self­conscious Parish depends on program development which enables missional engagement or the congregation, promotes demonstrational projects in the Parish, end creates community awareness.
LOCALIS MANAGEMENT	Effective management at the Parish level is accomplished by a Financial Unit, a Properties Unit, and a Service Unit. Accountant/treasurer, purchasing agent, and budget planner comprise the Financial Unit. To maintain internal activities, the Property Unit includes an inventory team, a maintenance crew, and an instruction team. Management is further supported by a Service Unit that supplies typing pools, food preparation teams, and duplicating teams.
LOCALIS CONTROL	Experience points to the need for control to provide the necessary supervision and coordination. The Assignment Unit carries out this task. This unit deals with time/task supervision which is enabled by the parish office, manpower, and child/youth coordinators. In order to provide care for parish gatherings, the Meeting Enablement Unit provides a facilities and transportation organizer, setup and clean­up crew, and the food coordination unit. A data organization unit which includes a materials librarian, a file clerk, and a news editor, informs and records the decisions of the Parish .
LOCALIS DEVELOPMENT	To facilitate involvement in the Parish, a development unit is essential. The development unit creates brochures that make known the needs and projects the vision. A contact coordination unit and calling teams enable participation of the Parish in creating the new society. The Parish development unit also contexts and creates a means for the community to be engaged in the global mission extending beyond their own Parish.
MICRO COMPONENTS	The Micro Geo­Coordinate holds the tension between the Parish and the Polis. The component groups of the Micro Include the Micro Council, the Micro Communication Centrum, the Micro Movemental Expansion Force, and the Micro Training Corps. The Micro Council is composed of symbolic leaders and those who coordinate the activities and the meetings between the Parish and the Polis. The Communication Centrum engages in resource research, media exchange and local political data dissemination. The force which acts as the catalyst to gather the troops for the long march of movemental expansion is comprised of a coordinator of the penetration, collegial visits and a clergy guild from the Micro. The Micro Training Corps are those who provide on­going parish leadership orientation, organize community forces, and train new grads.
MICRO FUNCTIONS	The function of the Micro is to enable the Parish and Polis communication data exchange and joint strategic planning. The Micro symbolic leaders guard the relationship of the Parish to the Polis and the Polis to the Parish. They symbolize consensus by representing the converging of the Polis and Parish. The Micro coordinates inter­parish research, monitors local political activity and synchronizes various local cultural activities. The penetration strategies and the visitation teams are coordinated for systematic coverage of the geography. The Micro plans strategically the nurture of clergy and the cultivation of leaders who will assume responsibility for the Metro and its Parishes. By local teaching, the movement story is rehearsed and the global context re­articulated to assist the Parish in the building of comprehensive community organization models. As a result of these functions, the Micro maintains the one missional thrust of the church.
MICRO MANAGEMENT	Enabling the mission of the church at the Micro level are the management component groupings of Property Management, Resource Centrum and the Financial Unit. The Property Management is composed of those who are responsible for coordinating the equipment and space for the micro functions. The Resource Centrum provides the coordinators and distributors of resources, such as decor and educational materials. The financial Unit is one which budgets, distributes and holds the Movement accountable to maintaining its missional budget.
MICRO CONTROL	The control design which enables decisions contains the component groupings of Administration, Time/Task Coordinate, and the Care Unit. The Administration is composed of the Micro coordinator who sees that Parish and Polis decisions are communicated and acted upon and the records secretary who handles penetration records and course information with a passionate concern to insure that no grad is left without continuing communication from the Movement. The Time/Task Coordinators are responsible for inter­garish assignments, course enablement, and Micro course scheduling. The Care Unit enables Micro meetings, provides care for children and makes necessary arrangements for visitors and guests such as international interns.
MICRO DEVELOPMENT	The Micro development unit enables the Area development schemes. It assumes responsibility for maintaining personal contact with signal donors, keeping up-to­date records, making appointments and setting the context for the development team and nurturing of potential contributors.
POLIS COMPONENTS	The components which embody the operational designs at the Polis geo­coordinate are the Problem­Solving Units, the Recruitment Unit, the Educational Unit, and the Symbolic Life Unit. At the Polis coordinate, comprehensive caring is provided to sustain the Parish and Micro forces. The operational designs function at the Polis level utilizing the leadership forces of the Metro. The Problem­Solving Units consist of forces concretely engaged in the particular grassroots reformulation who bring to bear their practical and theoretical knowledge to specific problems. The Recruitment Unit provides coordinators to maintain strategic recruitment, forces to train recruitment teams and teams versed in the movement practice to enable colleagues in their missional recruitment. The weekend course coordinators, pedagogy tutorials, and a research­common memory unit compose the Education Unit and provide for image awakening experiences, theoretical and practical training. The Symbolic Life Unit assumes responsibility for the total care of colleagues through its cultural research committee, celebration coordinator, and symbolic leadership which together provide the context for missional engagement.
POLIS FUNCTIONS	At the Polis geo­coordinate the components function to create a force trained in methodological prowess, to raise up effective recruiting forces, to provide the life­related educational experiences and to re-contextualize the vocational decision for every man. The training in methodological prowess enables one to effectively engage in the missional tasks within the particular global­local context. One is given the means of utilizing the grass­roots wisdom through training in the processes of collecting and recording data, gestalting it and then consensing corporately. The recruiting function creates and executes effective visitations, prepares brochures and widely disseminates course information through mailings and the use of mass media. Through recruitment, colleagues are provided with the context and methods to be mission. Vital to the total education at the Polis level are social methodological training, curriculum planning and ecclesiola seminars. Vocational re-contextualization gives local man a new image of his vocation and the means of engaging his expenditure on behalf of all men.
POLIS MANAGEMENT	The first dynamical function of enablement at the Polis geo­coordinate level is management. The financial coordinator has the responsibility of overseeing the total financial enablement and coordinating the work of the treasurer, purchasing agent and budget committee. The equipment coordinator is responsible for the positions of property recorder and a maintenance unit. The manpower coordinator has the responsibility of ensuring that the available forces are matched with the necessary tasks which are carried out by the clerical, security, and equipment operations.
POLIS CONTROL	The second function of enablement is control. The filing system manager is responsible for the recording and maintaining of data in the Polis, aided by a records clerk, a secretary and a bookkeeper. The time/teak supervisor is responsible for coordinating courses and meetings, including the work of meeting assignment coordinator and a set up and decor team. A newsletter editor, a brochure coordinator, and a public relations team compose the publications office which disseminates data and information throughout the Polis.
POLIS DEVELOPMENT	Another function carried on at the Polis geo­coordinate level is development. The contact cultivation team acts as the coordinating link between the Global and Local by providing the occasion for rehearsing the global needs and enabling effective channeling of funds to meet global needs. Through the practical task of appointment clerks and local solicitation teams, a sign of the oneness of the church across the world is demonstrated

GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES REGIONALIS
	The Regionalis serves as the channel and coordinating dynamic between the Globalis and the Localis, thus ensuring that the Movement does not end up in abstraction nor does the Parish remain imprisoned in parochialism, The uniqueness of the Metro geo coordinate is seen in its existence as the grounded base for the Regionalis. In maintaining the Religious House, enabling courses, and care and nurturing grads, the Metro is able to actualize the Spirit Movement in the lives of local man. The unique function of the Region is serving as a switchboard between the Area and the Metro. The controlling dynamic which receives, clears and reports between the Metro and the Area is the Regionalis. This dynamic also focuses the energies of the six Metros into a working unit. The Area holds the comprehensive vision of the Regionalis by providing advanced movement training such as Academy. Coordination of courses, demonstration projects and development grants and funding go on at the Area geo coordinate. Research at this level enables full grassroots participation of the Movement in effective Global research.
METRO COMPONENTS	Operating within the Metro dynamic are Course Facilitators, Administrative Forces, and Planning groups. The Course Facilitators work as recruitment teams, faculty for courses across the Region, and as enablement teams for the execution of actual practics. The Administrative Forces enlist a diaconate who staff the Metro office, bring together groups of colleagues to conduct workshops and create a body of people equipped with methods for consultations. Planning groups assume the vital role of calling into being problem solving units, serving on councils for organizing activities at the Metro level, and deciding strategically the preparation and involvement of churches in the Local Church Project. Spirit nurture structures consists of the Religious House Ecclesiolas, Metro meetings and Metro celebrations.
METRO FUNCTIONS	Coordinating Penetration is a Metro function achieved by recruiting, training and assigning a comprehensive net of recruitment forces. The Metro schedules and orchestrates the location and dates of the courses. Emerging leaders are equipped at the Metro level through pedagogy tutorials, training in basic movement methods, and by assignment constructs for participation in structures such as Academy, Odyssey, Summer Programs, Galaxy Training and Metro Councils. The Metro provides a network of information exchange sustaining common movement memory and enabling creation of a Global research net which records all movement news and data. Spirit care is given to the grad in the form of opportunities to participate in Metro ecclesiolas, celebrations, and house church. Thus, the colleagues are nurtured by the symbolic life that exists in such happenings.
METRO MANAGEMENT	The components of management which enable the Movement at the Metro level are Office Controls, Practical Management and Transportation Coordinator. Office Controls involve the staffs, carries out the clerical and fiscal activities relative to the Metro. Practical Management concerns itself with the physical maintenance and symbolic decor of movement properties within the Metro. The Transportation Coordinator is responsible for transportation for the Metro activities.
METRO CONTROL	The control components are the Information System, Enablement Supervisor and Communications. The Information System, gathers data which assists in the coordination of the operations of the Movement at the Metro level. One feature of this system would be individual journey charts for all metro colleagues indicating courses taken and experience. Enablement Supervision deals with practice, resources and assignments necessary to run the Metro meetings and activities. A Communications Component provides the practical procedures and information transferal.
METRO DEVELOPMENT	The components of Development are a Context Building Unit, a Training Dynamic and a Contact Network. The Context Building Unit creates and imparts a common story which is the foundation of developing corporateness. The Training Dynamic develops human resources to perform the necessary tasks and sustain colleagues within a common context. Finally, a Contact Network organizes and maintains a list of prospective course participants, and creates a comprehensive visitation schedule for recruitment and post-course follow-up.
REGIONAL COMPONENTS	The components at the Region level are Leadership Roles, Planning and Action Team, Course Projection Coordinate, and the Research and Communications Division. The Leadership Roles are assumed by congregation leaders or those key layman and clergy involved in Local Church Projects, by movement priors or those movement colleagues who have assumed a priorship stance, and by the Religious House Priors. Composed of the Metro and Regional Coordinators, who as the symbolic heads of the Region meet with other colleagues to do comprehensive strategic planning. The Course Projection Coordinate includes the Regional presidium which schedules basic and advanced courses within the Region, holds course coordinators accountable for course registrations and assigns Regional pedagogues to staff roles. The Research and Communications Division is responsible for a publicity committee which creates and sends out brochures, letters and invitations to Regional events, a data gathering unit which holds leadership and development data and a movement reporting team which reports happenings across the entire Region to the Metro, Regional and Area Councils.
REGIONAL FUNCTIONS	The particular functions carried on at the Region geo­coordinate include orchestration of activities throughout the Metros to comprehensively care for colleagues and at the same time minimize redundancies. The Region schedules and actualizes the courses and coordinates the exchange of data. Nurture, or sustaining the spirit, is carried out through celebrations and liturgies, and continual reminders of the common symbols out of which the movement operates. The function of promoting movement dynamics keep colleagues informed on activities and new directions of the movement within and outside of the Region. Leadership training on a formal level through such structures as pedagogy tutorials and informal training allow local churchman to develop prowess in various guru and spirit life methodologies.
REGIONAL MANAGEMENT	The Regional management Design involves the Regional Office Staff which includes the information production division, mailing teams and materials purchasing division. The Regional Education Staff takes responsibility for course management, promotion and supplies. The finance staff manages budgeting, accounting and channeling of money.
REGIONAL CONTROL	Regional control is comprised of a Communications Network Division. The Communications Network Division plays an essential role in maintain" the records pertaining to recruitment and expedites necessary data dissemination. The Regional Centrum Division is a mainspring of Regional control. It directs futuric planning necessary for program expansion. The Data Control Division is made up of the geo­social analyzers, movement personnel skills hank and congregation demographers.
REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT	The Fund Raising Team obtains a comprehensive list of prospective contributors within the Region. The Regional Symbolic Life Staff is responsible for ensuring that the solicitation teams create and rehearse a story to provide an adequate context for the contributors. The Donor Design Staff compiles the data and promotional materials necessary to engage the lives of concerned churchmen who visualize renewal as crucial and necessary. Denominational support and the participation of secular institutions and individuals is also sought.
AREA COMPONENTS	The operational components of an Area include a Training Lyceum, a Penetration Network, a Consultation Team, and a Leadership Centrum. The Training Lyceum includes basic and advanced schools for the Local Church Project, and Academies and Institutes for the social process development of Area permeators. The Penetration Network focuses on coordinating the basic and advanced course schedule, faculty assignments, and the projection and evaluation of the Penetration thrust. The Consultation Team initiates consults with ecclesiastical, movemental, and secular groups. The Leadership Centrum forges movemental direction through symbolic leadership teams; practical leadership teams; and research demonstration teams.
AREA FUNCTIONS	The functions of the operational design at the Area level are coordination, training, research, and visioning. The coordination of courses, course faculty, and movement training occurs within the Area. The function of the training program is to develop common style, common methods, and common memory within the movement. Research is the ongoing dynamic of model building which entails data gathering, analysis and synthesis; experimentation and evaluation of the model; and necessary revision. Visioning appropriates common symbols and develops the common story to create corporateness. Visioning also enables the maintenance of the tension between the comprehensive and the particular.
AREA MANAGEMENT	The Enablement design at the Area level provides a coordinating function of management, control, and development within the Area and for the Area Office. Management enables the Area by the internal ordering, resource property and finance stations. The Finance Station manages the budgeting, Treasurer, and Comptroller coordinates. The Property Station includes the maintenance, procurement and security coordinates. The Resource Station is responsible for publishing, materials distribution, and computer operations. Lastly the International Ordering Station organizes
AREA CONTROL	The control design enables the Area level by providing Meeting Enablement, Office Teams, Internal Assignments, and Communication and Transportation Networks. The control design has responsibility for organizing meeting enablement which arranges for the meeting, child care and food service teams. Decision­making at the Area level is enabled by the Assignment Coordinate, which consists of the Supervision, training and distribution of troops. The office coordinate is made up of teams responsible for the office supervision, gathering and coordinating data, and computer programming.
AREA DEVELOPMENT	The Area Development design is enabled by an Individual Solicitors Coordinate, a Grantsmen's Coordinate and a Contributors Nurture Guild. Solicitation from individuals involves creating teams of visitors and correspondents that have a common story about their task. The Grantsmen's Coordinate consists of a potential contributors investigatory, guilds of proposal writers, and a team trained in soliciting government grants. The Contributors Nurture Guild has visitation, phoning and ceremony planning teams, along with a publication guild to enable comprehensive development at an Area level.
GEOGRAPHICAL COORDINATES GLOBALIS
	The third grouping of geographical coordinates is the Globalis. It is composed of the Continent, the Sphere, and the Globe. The function of the Continent is to project the global missional design by developing operational strategies that provide a comprehensive framework for the Regionalis. To do this the Continent must be first grounded in the cultural milieu of its particular Sphere, and in the global strategies and time lines of the global design. The Sphere functions to shape and style the missional design in relation to the particular contradictions present in the cultural mindset of each Sphere. The function of the Globe is to give form to the global missional consensus as the basis of the Movement's common thrust, which is in turn styled by the Sphere and projected by the Continent. The function of the Globalis grouping of geographical coordinates is to project and give form, shape, and style to the global missional design.
CONTINENTAL COMPONENTS	At the Continental level the Training Coordination is provided by a faculty review board, a curriculum coordination team, and consultation teams, such as an annual first teachers' consult. Common wisdom, common style and accountability to the consensed criteria for continental teaching is thus maintained. The Image Projection Unit is comprised of a media team, civic and ecclesiastical leaders' participation in the Spirit Movement. The Geo-social Interchange Unit is comprised of continental colleague visits, international intern exchanges and special courses which broaden the scope of the movement by disseminating edge theoretical wisdom and sharing the practical wisdom of colleagues from other regions and continents. Continental presidiums, assemblies and problem solving units comprise the Continental Planning and Advancement Nexus. These deal with contradictions on the continental level as well as build the collegiality and fellowhood which serves as the glue for the movement as it is manifested across the globe in every parish.
CONTINENTAL FUNCTIONS	The functions of the components at the continental level are the following: maintaining commonness in curriculum and teaching methods, relaying the contemporary panorama of the spirit struggle of our time, relating global reports to the continents, and nurturing the Spirit Movement. Maintaining the commonness of curriculum and teaching methods requires regular in­depth evaluation of curriculum and the coordination of its teaching at the interarea level. This re-contextualizes the teaching faculty in the common vision. The contemporary panorama portrays the spirit struggle occasioned by the external events, thus enabling self-conscious dealing with the fundamental questions of humanness itself. Sharing global wisdom through up­dating the curriculum and sponsoring international interns directly relates the globe to the continent. The Spirit Movement is nurtured through holding regular accountability, maintaining continental fellowhood, and sharing reports about the continental demonstrations.
CONTINENTAL MANAGEMENT	The initial aspect of the continental enablement design is management, which consists of a Support and Maintenance Corps, Memory­Communications Management, and Management Stewards. Support and Maintenance Corps ensures that the facilities at this level are in constant operating condition. Management sees that the machinery used in handling and distributing the vast amounts of data accumulated are in working order and that adequate staff is provided in such areas as stenographic personnel, computer programmers, and filing clerks. Management also supervises transportation pools and finance administration.
CONTINENTAL CONTROL	Control, the second aspect of enablement, is achieved by the use of sophisticated electronic communications systems to maintain contact with both personnel and material resources. For example, the Research Development and Meeting Enablement components as well as the Personnel Data components could make use of a closed circuit television system to allow for consultations on a continental level without physically moving every metro or regional coordinator to a central location. By devices such as an automatic tracking system, movemental information code numbers, an ecumenical directory service,­ microfilm transference systems, and a publishing house, information and data can be quickly focused at the point of need and thus make more effective use of all resources. This control function of enablement must communicate rapidly in order to provide for general care and task­time supervision, thus acting as the steering wheel of the movement on the continental level.
CONTINENTAL DEVELOPMENT	The final aspect of enablement is development which financially supports continental mission through carefully planned development strategies and tactics. Support from non­profit organizations such as churches, foundations, or cultural societies, is solicited through carefully planned program interpretation and special presentations. Corporations and agencies are also cultivated, especially through the contacts maintained by groups of colleagues in a given field. Individual contributions are solicited by maintaining a reception center for meetings and fundraising dinners. Special grants from government agencies in research, urban renewal, or poverty programs are secured for support of special projects.
SPHERE COMPONENT	At the Sphere level, the operational designs are embodied in a Cultural Research Unit, a Movemental Instruction Committee, a Priorship Assignment Resource Center and a Movemental Strategical Network. Research units operating at the Sphere level coordinate continental cultural research and problem solving units. The image adaptation unit is responsible for integrating the global movement's image with the Sphere's unique cultural context. A Committee for Movemental Instruction ensures that courses and curriculum are appropriately styled according to each sphere's inherent gifts. The Priorship Assignment Resource Unit provides the information about specific needs for assignments made at the global level. This component also involves the orientation of priors who are new to a particular sphere as well as the intersphere exchange of priors. The Movemental Strategical Network synchronizes the underlying commonness of the sphere in movemental designs and tactics and mediates tensions between the world's cultures. Sphere celebrative activities rehearse the global vision in relating the unique gifts of the spheres.
SPHERE FUNCTIONS	The functions of the operational design at the Sphere level are cultural research, movement styling, movemental outreach and missional coordination. Cultural research on the Sphere level enables comprehensive global strategizing and concrete implementation through its grasp and articulation of edge cultural trends. It maintains a globally consensed movemental self­image and at the same time adapts that image to the cultural milieu in which it operates. The missional coordinating includes long­range prioritizing, planning and coordinating research, holding the missional horizon of the movement and ensuring that the global vision gets mediated to the continents. The Sphere then holds accountability throughout the continents to the global model and informs the global decision­making nexus of edge continental spirit thrusts and cultural tensions.
SPHERE MANAGEMENT	At the Sphere Geo-coordinate, the management design includes Conference Coordinators, Transportation Unit and the Sphere Comptroller. The Conference Coordinators make arrangements for gatherings of the Sphere Strategy Conferences. The Transportation Unit enables leaders to travel to and from Sphere gatherings. The Sphere Comptroller assumes responsibility for the financial care of the conferences and serves as a channeling agent for conference costs
SPHERE CONTROL	The first component grouping within the control design is the Research and Data Control, which determines the direction of research by developing effective procedures of acquisition, compilation, storage and evaluation of movemental wisdom related to New Social Vehicle research and demonstration projects. The distribution of material as well as its strategic use in a particular sphere is controlled by the Communications Web. Movemental Strategic Operations makes possible the effective imolementation of action within the context of global strategy.
SPHERE DEVELOPMENT	Development at the Sphere Geocoordinate enables the fund raising of the continents through the Image Projection Staff and the Research Program Support Team. Within Image Projection, stories, data, the vision and the multiplicity of movemental activities are related to the continents. Part of this function is to plan and enable development trips to key donors, to ecclesiastical heads, and to international corporations. Data on potential donors are exchanged from continent to continent when necessary, with attention focused on those that potentially would support the common task. Development makes possible concrete continental participation in the common global task of the reconstruction of the earth.
GLOBAL COMPONENTS	The Global Decision­Making Nexus is composed of the global councils, the global movement presidiums, and the global research assemblies. Movement presidiums are those representative groups which set the agenda and decide the key issues for the global council. The global council representatives make decisions relative to broad future plans while the research assemblies are large bodies which create global movemental models. The Establishment Relations Unit involves an ecclesiastical development team, an envoy unit, and consultants. These forces act for the sake of cultivating relationships with the historic Church where comprehensive, global grasp is necessary. The Spirit Dynamic Catalyzer acts as a checkout point in the creation of movement symbolic life and maintains commonness of symbols and rituals across the globe. It employs research units to create and suggest dissemination models for spirit methods, the global training network to prepare teachers, and the teaching corps to carry out advanced movemental training.
GLOBAL FUNCTIONS	There are four functions of the movemental master strategy at the global geo­coordinate. The first function is to perpetually recapture futuric and global visioning. The style of colleagueship, the symbolic unity of the global Movement, and self-conscious participation of every man in global history are its concerns. At the same time it structures the future thrust by creating comprehensive research models. Extended Relationships ensures both secular sponsorship and ecclesiastical cultivation on the global level, while simultaneously reassuring commonness in the realm of demonstration projects and polity networks. Two such demonstration projects that symbolize single thrust of the global Movement are the Local Church Experiment and the Fifth City Projects. The teaching dynamic is also guarded at this geo­coordinate level by enlistment of faculty, deployment of faculty, and developing the edge of the teaching thrust.
GLOBAL MANAGEMENT	Global Management provides for a Comptroller Office, Technical Engineers, a Transportation Office and a Property Maintenance Unit. The Comptroller Office is a financial accountability unit which includes a treasurer, a budget and accounting staff, purchasing agents, and a materials coordination and distribution division. The Technical Engineers include computer operators, data processors, printers and managers of the food preparation center for internal staff. The Transportation Office includes a travel coordinator and staff responsible for procuring and operating transportation equipment. The Property Maintenance Unit is responsible for maintaining and coordinating the facilities.
GLOBAL CONTROL	Global Control is performed by four component groups. The Commission of Archives Control maintains the archives through collective organizing and evaluating data. The Materials Distribution Committee is responsible for prioritizing and distributing material appropriate to this level across the Movement. It works in relationship to the Communication Media Unit which oversees the use of graphic arts, audio­visual devices and journals. The Assignment and Accountability Model Builders create the rationales and designs for the use of time and personnel to accomplish the necessary tasks.
GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT	Global Development is carried out through comprehensive visitation research and planning. These involve creating visitation models, evaluating potential donors and designing stories which demonstrate both the movement edge and benefactor benefits. Development maintains a continuing relationship with symbolic global ecclesiastical leadership. This enables broad support of ecumenical programs by the religious establishment. The style of the development teams embody intentional nonchalance and project a new world image.
