The planetary network of light, love and service is transforming the mental climate of the planet, reorientating humanity to spiritual attitudes and values. The groups and activities reported in the Bulletin reflect different aspects of the network.
Founded in 1990 in Maine, USA, the Institute for Global Ethics (IGE) mission is to promote ethical behaviour in individuals, institutions, and nations through research, public discourse, and practical action. Reflecting upon its remit, IGE writes: “[Our] research has made it apparent that, wherever you go in the world and ask, What are the most important moral values for you and your future? You're apt to hear the same five answers: compassion, fairness, honesty, respect, and responsibility.”
IGE helps individuals and organizations to put these values into practice through its various Programs and Services:
Corporations: to strengthen the ethical culture of corporations by highlighting the client’s corporate values, identifying employees’ personal values, and welding the two together. IGE can then help the corporation to use these values in a practical decisionmaking framework for people at all levels;
Education: to offer critical support to educators, students, and school communities seeking to improve the ethical climate. From curricula for students from kindergarten through college to workshops for the wider community, the Institute has a number of tools to help put ethics into action;
Nonprofits: to provide customized services for nonprofit organizations that recognize the value of integrating ethics into their everyday culture – at all levels;
Individuals: to offer tools that can help individuals tackle the ethical issues they face daily – at work, at home, and everywhere in between;
Foundations: to help meet foundations’ needs, the Institute offers training, workshops, motivational speakers, and specially crafted products;
Government: to work with government at both federal and state levels.
The Institute has offices in the USA, UK and Canada.

The aim of the Institute of World Culture (IWC) is to promote universal brotherhood and foster human fellowship among all races, nations and cultures. IWC offers a congenial environment for the contemplation and enjoyment of the rich heritage of human culture.
The Institute presents a range of seminars and cultural events highlighting classical and contemporary themes. It also sponsors discussion groups on the sciences and philosophies, ethical and psychological perspectives and the arts and crafts of past and present
humanity.
IWC has drawn up a Declaration of Interdependence, which lists ten aims. Some of the aims are:
- to explore the classical and renaissance traditions of East and West and their continuing relevance to emerging modes and patterns of living;
- to investigate the imaginative use of the spiritual, mental and material resources of the globe in the service of universal welfare;
- to assist in the emergence of men and women of universal culture, capable of continuous growth in nonviolence of mind, generosity of heart and harmony of soul.
Interestingly, the Institute’s seal incorporates the symbol of the triangle signifying “the triadic relationship – conception, growth and regeneration – in man and nature”.
