Many people, deeply concerned at the trend of human affairs, are interested in finding practical ways of contributing to the solution of world problems. But they do not know with whom to ally themselves. They feel futile as individuals and have no faith in stereotyped old-age campaigns, or new “isms” and cults. The most contagious human quality which can be organised and made effective is goodwill. It has been defined as “Love in Action”. People of goodwill are potentially the richest asset

in any nation, and can have tremendous influence on public opinion when properly associated and focussed. To bring in the new day, we do not need a further appraisal of the world condition based on a particular ideology or point of view. Rather, we need a deeper sense of reality based on spiritual values, and a new perception of humanity as a unit of divine life within an ordered and purposive universe.

World Goodwill offers a number of ways for developing individual and group participation in serving humanity at this crucial period in history:

The World Goodwill Newsletter, a regular publication highlighting the energy of goodwill in world affairs. The newsletter presents a universal spiritual approach to topics of concern. Deeper analysis can be found in our Commentaries.	A world prayer, the Great Invocation, is distributed on a worldwide scale in many languages and dialects. World Goodwill also cooperates in organising the annual World Invocation Day, with special focus on the use of the Great Invocation worldwide.
The Cycle of Conferences, an initiative utilising the power of enlightened thought to help create a positive mental climate for the solution of world problems.	The Goodwill Meditation Group, a worldwide group of people who meditate once a week on the energy of goodwill. Their subjective work strengthens human consciousness, making positive, forward-looking solutions to world crises more possible.
A programme of distributing literature, both electronically and in printed form, on a variety of spiritual topics, including: the imminent reappearance of the World Teacher, known by Christians as the Christ, and by those of other faiths by many different names; the nature of the Divine Plan and how we may cooperate with it; the work of the spiritual Hierarchy; and others.	Seminars featuring guest speakers such as Mae-Wan Ho, William Bloom, and Daniel Wheatley on topics of world interest; and interviews with servers from many different fields, with transcripts and audio files available online.
A series of study papers on the major problems of human progress. Emphasis is placed upon underlying causes and emerging trends rather than on a factual survey of events. The use of the trained mind in reflective thought and meditation is encouraged. Study groups may be formed, and there is also online discussion of these problems.	A selection of Inner Sight radio programs related to the work of World Goodwill
