It is the key starting point for any change, because it represents the smallest, most singular form of influence. In order to achieve a harmonic, world-state, the smallest pieces of the puzzle must be changed. The person is the easiest institution to reach, and once instilled with moral values, can filter through the entire community system. The new revolution, dubbed the personalist communitarian movement, recognizes the need for personal change beyond all else. Within these communities form the moral bonds that form a society.
Society is, in essence, the way in which people interact within communities.
If these communities are corrupt, society becomes corrupt. The essential focus of the Communitarian Network is the reconstruction of communities. Community is, of course, another word for institution. We are a nonsectarian, nonpartisan, international association. It is through these institutions that we acquire a sense of our personal and civic responsibilities, an appreciation of our rights and the rights of others, and a commitment to the welfare of the community and its members.
