Topic #018/2025 Creating a new Australian 7th Tradition Flyer
What do you want Conference to do?
To create a working group to update the material in ‘Group Contributions Plan’ and combine it with relevant information in ‘Money and Spirituality’ to create a simple, readable, online flyer that can be updated regularly and provides groups with inspiration and information to carry out the 7th tradition.
What issue does this proposal address?
This topic has been created in response to the financial report given by the General Service Trustee at conference last year. It is one small step to bringing consciousness and focus to the 7th tradition at the Group, Area and National level. It would contain information about how being ‘fully self supporting’ includes supporting the service structures that keep AA running.
Background information that supports this proposal
The 2 pamphlets “Group Contributions Plan’ and ‘Money and Spirituality’ are the only references available on the
AA website. It is felt that an update and rewrite would bring fresh energy and ideas to the 7th tradition in Australia Group Contribution Plan flyer: https://literature.aa.org.au/collections/service-literaturepamphlets/products/group-contributions-plan
Money and Spirituality flyer: https://www.aa.org/self-support-where-money-and-spirituality-mix
How will this proposal benefit the fellowship or the still suffering alcoholic?
Hopefully it will increase the group contributions reaching the GSO and help us to become fully self supporting as a National fellowship.
What are the estimated costs of implementing this suggestion?
Just the cost of printing the pamphlet if that was considered the best way to broadcast it. It may be best just to keep it as an online document in which case there would be no costs involved.
At what level of group conscience (if any) was this topic discussed?
