Have any DUers heard of the 'Initiatives of Change - International'
...It was formerly known as "Moral Re-Armament" or MRA which was minimally active for the past 20 years or so. This is from the website of IofC International. I wondered if it is a reputable group, well intentioned and true to its stated purposes. Any input from those who know anything about the movement would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
