2014 – Subud World Congress

This „2014 World Congress Report“ is not a report on the delegate meetings and resolutions, nor is it a report on the events and workshops. It is a ‘how we did it’ report on the actual organising of the 14th Subud World Congress in Puebla.

Though this may seem quite technical it is also very colourful and we hope enjoyable to read….it can be useful as a tool, but it can also be entertaining and an eye opener for members around to realise and appreciate the enormous work involved in setting up our world congresses.

WSA Membership, Decision Making in Subud (Consensus)
WSA member country’s delegates will be asked to vote on these topics at World Congress and need to be fully briefed to avoid lengthy discussions during plenary sessions.

At the 2010 World Congress in New Zealand proposals concerning WSA Membership, Consensus and the WSA Mission statement were discussed.  To take action on these resolutions, the World Subud Council (WSC) formed a sub-committee An Organization Work Group. National committees were asked to nominate members for an Advisory Group and discussions were facilitated and consulted on these topics.

Organisation Work Group Background NOTE: The Organization Work Group was not asked to consider the WSA Mission Statement and is therefore providing results / recommendations on WSA Membership and Decision Making in Subud only.

The current 2010 – 2014 World Subud Council (WSC) have taken forward the work of creating and agreeing a WSA Mission Statement. The following version was agreed at the Council meeting in Vancouver, 2012 and is simply a statement that briefly describes to ‘outsiders’ what Subud is about and how we work together.
