Corporate Poverty

This article is adapted from a presentation given by Gary A. Glynn, Class A (nonalcoholic) trustee at a general sharing session of the General Service Board, October 1994.

The subtitle for this sharing session on corporate poverty is: "spiritual and practical principles that assure AA's future." That got me thinking. I think in AA, spiritual and practical are the samething. Imagine someone coming into service who wanted to have some influence in AA and promoted some practical-sounding idea that had no spiritual merit. The Fellowship would quickly put a stop to that. Such a person would have to find some idea with a spiritual basis--even if he didn't believe it. So anything that is going to be of any practical use to us has to be spiritual as well.
