AN AFFIRMATION OF GOODWILL

We, the people of goodwill, convinced:

        - that there is potential for good in every human being
        - that the human family can live together in right relations and
          at peace
        - that practical goodwill is the key to right relationships

Recognising that:

        - the only way to guarantee a future of peace and progress for
          the whole human race is for enough men and women of goodwill
          to accept responsibility for the establishing of right
          relations, and to work actively with the principles of unity
          and goodwill

Affirm our intention:

        - to practice goodwill in all our relationships, in all daily
          affairs and in our attitudes and actions towards those of
          other nations, ethnic groups, religions and social back-
          grounds, and towards the earth

        - to support and co-operate with those in positions of influence
          and responsibility who use goodwill and reason, instead of
          force and coercion

        - to encourage, publicise and work for an attitude of practical
          goodwill in local, national and international groups and
          institutions.
