The road map until the next World Council (Estes Park, Colorado, USA) in 2014 was also discussed during the meeting through a participative methodology. Keynote speeches by Rev. Dr. John Sentamu and Rev. Dr. Johnston Mc Master helped setting the frame for the work either in plenary sessions or in groups.
We thank Johan Vilhelm Eltvik, Secretary General of the World Alliance for his inspiring leadership of the meeting together with WAY´s staff present Selma Zaidi, Romulo Dantas and Carlos Sanvee. A special note of gratitude to Peter Jeffrey (Chair person), Denise Hatton (Interim CEO) and Ken Montgomery (Head of International Affairs) representing YMCA England, our host movement. Them, together with the staff of Dunford House, created an unforgettable hospitable atmosphere for all of us.
