Abstract
Thriving communities, to which all of our work points, need institutions because institutions allow practices to flourish. Our call is, therefore, not to malign institutions or allow them to languish; rather we are called to serve and improve them and start new ones so they can be bearers of tradition, laboratories for learning and incubators of leadership.
This page explores the idea of vibrant institutions, considering how they form us even as we form them and exploring stories that paint a picture of what such institutions look like. We recommend you explore the essays first, in order, and then consider the stories and recommended reading.
