Palms Australia challenged to be ‘prophetic’

Duncan McLaren at Palms' 2009 AGM

“The prophetic style had to be outside the authority structure and could cause tensions – and they would be unpopular but they would triumph because their words were founded on important truths surrounding what it is to be human. NGOs have to return to this prophetic tradition from which they sprang.”


I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands
to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. - Mohandas Gandhi
